irrespective of "coding as an art form", corporate adoption of generative AI is half the problem. in general, genAI still creates garbage code that either needs intensive editing or complete rewriting, usually by an unpaid intern, to be not garbage anymore. which is ignoring the environmental impact. your boss wants you to accept AI slop as normalcy so he will say anything to make you believe it.

meanwhile, entire towns in rural areas have to go without consistent power or clean water as the slop gloops out of the information synthesisers at a ridiculous rate. im not going to take your blog post in bad faith, but it hasnt made me think that there's a legitimate use for genAI. in all applications, it still sucks.

This post was more about acceptance and trying to find a silver lining. Perhaps I didn't make this clear enough but I'm not trying to convince anyone that there's a legitimate use or that it's not slop. In my experience, the extent of what it's "good" at is writing short, isolated functions with a clear purpose. Beyond that, it makes enough mistakes that it's probably better to just write from scratch.

But most companies don't care about that, or the environmental impact, and will continue to enforce the use of genAI because it's fast and cheap so unfortunately, I don't think it's going away. My point is that if we can't stop it, we could at least enjoy seeing a new art form emerge from it, if that makes anyone's day a bit easier
