A new survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and reported on by Apolloseems to show that large companies may be tapping the brakes on AI. Large companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August. Most other lines, representing companies with fewer employees, are also at a decline, with some still increasing.
That is just dumb.
Your skills are weakened even more by copying code from someone else. Because you have the use even less of your brain to complete your task.
Yet you people don’t complain about that part at all and do it yourself all the time. For some it is even the preferred method of work.
“Using your skills less means they get weaker, who would have thought!”
With your logic, you shouldn’t use any form of help to code. Programmers should just lock themselves in a big black box until their project is finished, that will make sure their skills aren’t “weakened” by using outside help.
No that’s not the same thing. It’s the difference between looking up how to do something and having it done for you.
There have been multiple articles recently that show AI weakens skills.

Btw there’s no need to add strawman arguments with scenarios I didn’t mention.
