"AI can code" is like "my dog can play piano". Yes, I have proof, look it's hitting the keys and we can hear a sound. Dogs can play piano. AI can code.

And the dog doesn’t even require an internet connection for that!

Shakespear typewritters monkeys....

It just does what you do but 1000x faster, copy and paste from google ;P

@Lensflare To be fair neither does AI ;P

Honestly, I still don't get all those devs claiming that AI writes complete working code for them. The claim that 42% of code was AI-assisted in 2024 makes more sense to me, as I never, ever got any code output longer than 3 lines from AI without at least one error.

Surely, I'm just to stupid to prompt and everyone else is now a 10x developer thanks to AI.

@devux-bookmark I can go to chat gpt 5 (the free version) and ask "make me a website that does XYZ with a python backend and frontend" (include additional details of the project as needed) and I'll get one

I've even done it with qwen-coder for isspam and added it as a new one because it performs pretty good

I ran into a pretty interesting issue recently.

If it's a system that is well-documented, but has not much example code available (in my case, some Oracle database package that is well documented but seldom used) it hallucinates like a motherfucker!

The reason? It has nothing to copy, and instead must think. Which, of course, it's poor at doing and always will be.
