Any one hype around AI. As I already wrote:

The world will be divided into people who have outgrown AI and those who haven't grown up to it. Is it sad? No. It's natural. There are many such things in the world without AI. We just already stink of this hype around AI. And someone will stick it in every conference, in every project. This is not from great intelligence. From the inability to do better with their own hands and brains than AI. Crafters will survive in this crazy hustle, the main thing is to see where you can do better and do it there.

Who hire developers which uses Copilot or ChatGPT should divide salary and gives AI his bread.

Indeed. The only time I've found ChatGPT useful is as a backboard for debugging obscure build and linker errors

Side note: I am relatively new here and am using the Mlem app. It seems like posting a link is done in the same way as a Reddit-style text post rather than a bare link. Did I do this right?

Mlem dev here. You can attach a link to the post directly by clicking the link button in the post editor toolbar then tapping "Paste" (with a link copied to clipboard). We're aware that this isn't the most obvious UI, and are improving the design in the next version.
