My grandfather was one of the first people in Canada to own a commercially available chainsaw.

Let me tell you - it didn’t take 30 years for people to figure out that chainsaws were useful.

Yet most of the kids on HN think they write better code than ai and that it’s completely useless and has no place.

LLMs do write code better than many engineers. It’s just the the normal distribution and the way LLMs are built. Just because it doesn’t write better code than above average engineers doesn’t make it useless though.

People that say AI writes better code than them is such a tell but not the one they might think it is.

Whether or not it is worth the cost or second order effects on society is a different discussion.
