Kenyans Did College Students’ Homework for Years. Then A.I. Arrived.

Its banned. Most won’t let you use it unless its one thing in a while and the ones that do shouldn’t be allowed to be a college anyways.

I understand why, but I also think exposure to AI workflows that are expected at jobs is important as well. Also there is so much AI psychosis or whatever you want to call it that I think skepticism of AI is an important life skill.
Hopefully the future of AI is open source, local, more efficient models, but it’s not going anywhere, so ignorance should be discouraged.

AI workflows… lol ok. throw crap at ai, it outputs random made up garbage, don’t check anything and push it to production.
WHEN it doesn’t work, blame ai… if forced to use AI again, repeat process. continue until the company goes bankrupt from wasting time/money on garbage, or realizes it’s trash and bans the use of it and relies on ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE.
malicious compliance should be used by everyone now. let their garbage destroy themselves.

It’s not really in my interest to ensure my employer crashes and burns. I’d rather guide them along responsible use of AI. And frankly that does involve a bit of letting certain initiatives fail while insulating my developers from the worst of it. I have a plan to make sure we keep the developers in development and that tools are used to support them rather than replace them. That requires tracking success metrics and ensuring we are doing developer-led development in parallel with the slop generation.
Having a knee-jerk anti-AI stance would only ensure skepticism is left out of the conversation.
