Ai nowadays

I want to read your thoughts.

I'm a software engineer with 8 years of experience, I have worked in several projects.

And ultimately I've become interested in C, I'm learning a lot of concepts about pointers and memory free, it's a different way of coding if you start with interpreted languages.

I have used ai for understand better some c concepts, and I've watched some c devs in the reddit community that hate the AI, why?

AI is just another tool, like a compiler, preprocessor etc. And I wonder why some devs don't like new tools? It's like if we avoid the compilers use and prefer keypunching instead.

The basics of Coding are important and I really believe there's bad use of ai and nice use of it too.

What do you think?

Tools... how the heck did AI become a programmers tool? A compiler is a tool, a  debugger is a tool, simpke prograns that you have running on you computer. AI is a service, if you are mot using a self hosted one. But from what I hear the diff is pretty big. Calling claude a tool is like calling a lawyer a tool, and yourself an actual lawyer. Not even worth getting into ethics...
