28. So you're fine with it having been trained on stolen intellectual property? You don't care about
Fri Dec 5, 2025, 01:41 PM

the envirinmental damage done by data centers? Or the studies showing it dumbs users down? Or the harm done to all the websites deprived of traffic after the AI companies stole their content?

But hey, it saves you a bit of time even though its results are unreliable. Including code that's often a security risk, with flaws that are hard to catch - harder if you're vibe coding and don't know how to code.

But wow, it gives you incompetent results in seconds.

They've done studies showing that if people take time to catch all the coding problems, AI coding doesn't really save time.

The more careless you are with verifying AI results, the more impressive it seems.
