My very first interaction with AI was a question like: How does it costs asking to you in respect to a normal web search engine? AI: ..very difficult to answer because of bla bla bla.. me: try to spit out some number even if roughly inaccurate AI: my answer can be costier in energy by a factor around 20 and 200

I'd put a 150k cc engine under my kawasaki 750cc? No. My homeplanet is already burning, thanks.

That said I can imagine that an AI assistant can be useful for a professional programmer but at least with a grain of salt

Someone already mentioned software maintenence, but what about responsability? A bug in a game is comparable to a bug in nuclear plant?

Philosofically speaking I suspect AI lives in an ethernal present (nemesys of the Ethernal September ;) without being conscious of the context of time: my second (and last requested) interaction with AI was about a stupid oneliner of mines:

Me: what the following perl program does?  my $t = $^T; until ... { $t+=86400; ... etc

AI: the program computes days between January 1st ..bla bla..

Me: no! you are incorrect

AI: sorry I was wrong: ... days between January 1st..

Me: quitted as I dont want to train it

The AI did not abstract $^T and get fixed with January 1st (1970) while every human reads $t = $^T as now and now is relative because tomorrow will hold another value, so a human understand: days between the moment the program was executed and bla bla bla

L*
