I disagree with Cory's framing of all of this. 🤷🏻♂️
He's right that AI is just more software, nothing special. He's wrong that because software exists we can use it. Just because there's a machine where you can prompt a feature and it "writes" a piece of software doesn't mean one *should* do so. And so on and so forth.
So yes, I am anti-AI in all the ways he thinks are "weird." Sorry.

Cory: “it’s also weird to be anti-AI in the sense of ‘opposing AI because someone, somewhere used AI in a way that was gross, harmful or exploitative.’”
Um…
All Generative AI is gross, harmful, and exploitative.
Yes, I said it.
