Not that this helps just an aside:

If this is iOS on one of the recent releases there is at least one apple bug I know of that causes this.

But it could also just be the youtube app :)

Kids preferring the touch screen seems more and more like letting kids in a typing class continue to hunt and peck rather than go through the work to learn a method that is faster and will ultimately benefit them by making their life easier.

I might change my mind on this later but right now I'm having a hard time seeing it any other way.

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't know how easy this is!

I went through the same cycle as well.

I think it's going to be an incredibly common, maybe universal cycle people will go through working with AI until they realize it doesn't work long term.

My experience is the AI has somehow thrown discipline and accountability out the door.

Folks break everything all the time and looking at their PRs and messages are clearly just having the AI respond to everything for them and actually have no idea what they're doing.

And then other people doing the same thing approve their work (presumably not reading or understanding any of it) because then the other person will do the same for theirs.

Hopefully my experience is an anomaly though :)

It's the stereotypical example of AI in my experience. I.e it's not this it's that.

probably a naive question but then would we expect companies not using it to lose market share to competitors that are using it?

Whether this ends up being replicated or not, I love the classic gym bro supplement being studied for its potential benefits to the brain.

What a time to be alive

I agree. Imo the red flags start when glancing at the section headings (before I started to read the content)

I haven't tried this with a score but I have a simple skill with some examples of PR description changes and good PR descriptions I'd previously wrote and I just run it on the description.

It does cost more but I haven't tried cheaper models to see if they can get the same results. Curious if anyone else has.

I've never thought about it this way before but this definitely mirrors my experience

Not to be pedantic and apologies if this is what you meant but my experience has been enforcement of that policy being the problem.

Will be interesting to see if / when enforcement happens given management is currently being pushed to encourage AI use

I wonder if there's research on short form but educational content or if that's fundamentally impossible.

For example I remember reading a lot of science magazines / articles growing up (granted popsci but for a kid it still teaches some things) and as I grew up things like the Economist.

Similarly I also played games like math blaster as a kid and have realized I need to intentionally provide games like this to my kids that ideally teach something (the bar being greater than zero learning) rather than playing one of those infinite running games or whatever.

I think we're probably talking about the exact same thing but am curious where content vs. short form media is.

Thanks for sharing :)

Never worked with it myself but I've always heard the people who do describe it as Unreal c++ because to them it's completely different than regular c++ and this must be one of the reasons why
