Hard disagree on "Good enough", most things are mediocre at best. Despite the massive AI boom I can at best count on one hand "fresh" products made with AI that are meaningful in day-to-day usage. Not to mention most of them seem to be targeting AI-space itself instead of bridging some actual business use case. Just look at all the products on ShowHN, you can "tell" a vibed product in seconds.
I think you agree with what is in the essence of the post, but has been worded poorly. I do agree that most things are mediocre at best. Hell, I'd argue that most of my comments on everyday observations are negative. Ranging from "this sucks :/" to "holy fuck". They are, however, "good enough" for some and despite how clever I must to notice how much something sucks, that does nothing to the fact that it will receive adoption. Turns out I'm not clever. Huh.
In hindsight, I have worded this rather poorly and let some phrases do a lot of heavily lifting for me in the post. Ultimately, I agree with you. Knowing, for this instance, is not half the battle.
I do notice and realize, and I've gotten to the point where I had to fork and patch most of them to fix the shitty AI generated code.
It's so bad, and so everywhere, that I'm genuinely considering switching to a pre-AI stable distro and waiting 10 years for the AI hyped to be over before updating any piece of software ever again.
These are grown and stable platforms now getting additions with the help of AI (which is not wrong) but they are not built by one.
Its like saying you live in a 3D printed home because you added a 3D printed decoration + the house is structurally stable == its a stable 3D printed house.
Beyond this i don't think it's wild to assume that somewhere between 70 and 90% of all software has heavy AI involvement. It would just be foolish not to
I'd believe it, my spotify breaks all the time now and I seem to remember them announcing none of their devs code anymore.
not 10 seconds ago I had to force close it to get it to stop playing music on my phone.
