This is a great example since AI isn't taking on the role of an independent software engineer here, so there is no "Jim" and this is much less of an issue than y'all are making it out to be. You know that auto-correct is also a form of ML right? Have you considered that tools can be used responsibly and that standards for software developers still apply even when they use new tools?
Yeah, and I don't fuckin use it.
Also, my auto-correct is saying that sentence is missing a comma, so I guess you don't either.
Cool that's great. Can you tell me that none of the software you use has been developed by software engineers making use of machine learning methods?
I can: I do not use any software.
Hahaha
