I don’t think that’s a relevant comparison - marathon is a race meant specifically to test what the human body is capable of. Using a car there is obviously against the goal of the competition.
When I’m writing code, I’ll happily offload the boring parts to AI. There’s only so many times you can solve the same problem without it being boring. And I’ve been doing this long enough that actually new problems I haven’t solved yet are pretty rare.


I mean, it’s a tool. You can use a hammer to smash someone’s skull in or you can use it to put some nail on a wall.
If you see it used like that, it’s shitty developers, the AI is not to blame. Don’t get me wrong, I do have coworkers who use it like this and it sucks. One literally told to next time tell Copilot directly what to fix when I’m doing a review.
But overall it helps if you know how and most importantly when to use it.
I personally buy from GOG almost exclusively, but it really depends on you. If Steam features are important to you, use Steam. If what GOG’s doing with DRM is important to you, buy from GOG.
Can’t you continue buying games from both? And use Playnite or something? Or even just GOG Galaxy which has the ability to import your games from Steam and run them?


Well, I personally don’t give a shit whether something is made by a human or a machine as long as the code is performing well and is readable.
Lucky for you and me both, AI is nowhere near capable of replacing a developer.
Learning new things is still needed, AI is good for mediocre tasks that need no real intelligence, but anything else still needs a human.


That is very extremely false equivalence. First, equating right to abortion with right to buy nsfw games is ridiculous. If I only could choose one, it would definitely be right to abortion and I would hope most people would vote the same.
Second, I’m simply saying if a store doesn’t offer what you want, why not support the one that does?






































































That simply isn’t true. It’s really great at a certain kind of tasks. And it does help you be more productive if you learn to use it well.
And yeah, the code is sometimes buggy and sometimes insecure. That’s why you can’t just blindly merge whatever it writes.
