Ask HN: Are 80s high school hobby programmers overwhelmingly pro-AI?

3•amichail•1h ago
Do such people think that AI is truly miraculous and should be made as advanced as possible as quickly as possible?

Comments

This one does not.
yawpitch•1h ago
Not this one, or, come to think of it, any that I know of.

Now, hobby entrepreneurs, that’s different.

codingdave•1h ago
In short, no.

Most of the folks I talk to in my age group are somewhere between anti-AI and "AI works for specific use cases". I find it is the younger folk who think it is miraculous and want to use it everywhere.

LarryMade2•1h ago
no. How about AI being consistent and accurate?
JohnFen•11m ago
I have no idea in general, but I was an 80s high school hobby programmer and don't think this way, nor do the devs I know who are roughly of the same vintage.
