AI bullshit

Because the best way out of despair is to do work against the thing that's getting you down, I have somehow produced a concerning amount of anti-so-called-AI blogging. Please send help, it's not fun. If this intro sounds an awful lot like its sibling: yeah, I'm doing great, thanks for asking.

Expect this list to be updated, unfortunately.

• Seeing code as craft, having fun with language pedantry to argue against code as either a science or an art;
• The (generative) AI discourse is nothing new, putting seemingly-new arguments in perspective against good ol' Walter Benjamin;
• ChatSCP, on the frustration of watching people denounce tech bros living in an alternate reality while they themselves refuse to account for how the world has changed;
• Code is a wedge and programmers are tools, sounding the alarm about "But it's good for code" being both incorrect and politically dangerous (also in French);
• Harm reduction complications, working towards a framework where harm reduction does not serve as a bad excuse for inaction;
• AI for code is a failure mode, going a bit deeper in why people using LLMs for code is a very bad sign;
• Full disclosure, arguing that LLM users should be more honest instead of making everything worse for everyone;
• Of being thrown out the Overton window, because I'm not the one who made a choice here.
