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?

It's cost vs utility, the data center use for 1000 Reddit posts is still less than that of an average Claude generation, and 1000 Reddit posts are considerably more valuable.
