AI Hype Vs Reality

AI Hype Vs Reality
The expectation vs reality of AI coding assistants in a nutshell. Everyone's hyping different AI models, but they're all just regurgitating the same Stack Overflow answers and GitHub repos with slightly different syntax highlighting. Notice how all four implementations have identical logic? That's because no matter which AI overlord you pledge allegiance to, they've all been trained on the same Rust code snippets. It's like four college students copying the same homework but changing the font to avoid detection. The real innovation here is how many different ways they can add comments to the same algorithm while making you feel like you're getting unique, cutting-edge assistance. Revolutionary stuff.

The Sacred Flowchart Of AI Copy-Pasta Ethics

The Sacred Flowchart Of AI Copy-Pasta Ethics
The eternal developer's dilemma in flowchart form! If AI-generated code doesn't work, it's a hard "DON'T DO IT." If it works but you have no clue why? Also "DON'T DO IT" (future you will curse present you during debugging). But if it works AND you understand why? "SURE" go ahead! This is basically the modern version of "I found this snippet on StackOverflow" except now we're copying from robots instead of humans. The flowchart perfectly encapsulates that brief moment of temptation when ChatGPT spits out something that runs without errors but feels like forbidden magic. Remember folks: understanding > working code.
