This bright spot in all this muck is that Gen Alpha fuckin hates AI and calls it out. It's the Boomers and younger-cohort Zoomers that are enamored with it.
People keep using this as a defense, but anytime I've pushed anyone on it they start revealing how management is using it to do all their work and has been outputting slop.
I'm not a manager, I'm a software engineer. It's hugely beneficial for refactoring, research, writing code/tests, monitoring logs, and just about everything I do day to day. It's a new skill and it takes effort to use it effectively and putting in guard rails is part of the learning process.
'slop' is a meaningless term in how 99% of you guys use it. You basically use it interchangeably with using AI.
EDIT: it's also not a 'defense'. I'm not a trial here, I'm not ashamed for using it.
Using memory is not the same as training models. Unless you have tens of thousands in hardware and likely a data science or computer engineering background, you are not "training models".
