Raw LLM Responses

I work as a programmer and it completely baffles me to think people believe ai can replace programmers. The important part of any software project is never the code, it's the conception and design behind it. AI can't possibly design and create architectures and make decisions to ensure the end user has a good experience. Software is more than just algorithms, just like a painting is more than colors on a canvas. I see people in my team at work who are engineers and have years of experience start to lose their critical thinking skills because they start to offload it to chatgpt. This is how we destroy ourselves as humans. Same for those who will take a carefully crafted datasheet of hundreds of pages, shove it in chatgpt and then ask it information on the part the datasheet was about. A technical document is still made by humans and is designed to be read by humans. The very thought of having it read by a robot then somehow make it more readable for humans is completely nonsensical. I see it all the time when reading documentation as well. When someone, a real person, writes a piece of documentation, it has a purpose. It's concise, it will be formulated to be easy to read and not be a visual clutter. It will have gone through peer reviews and multiple agreed that it was "good". When someone takes the shortcut of using ai to generate their documentation it never gets to the point, it's not made to be read, it's just like lorem ipsum text, it's filling space pretending to serve a purpose. I didn't intend to type such a long comment but this is a really important subject. People using ai are losing their confidence in their own skills. They are accepting to believe that ai is better than them even if they know that's not true. Everyone is pretending that this new reality is better because it tickles this instinct we have of aiming for efficiency. I really hope people realize these things before it's too late.
