I&amp;#x27;ve been programming for a while now and there&amp;#x27;s no way i&amp;#x27;m gonna trust a neural network with my code. Debugging is painful enough without having to deal with subtle bugs hallucinated by ML.&lt;p&gt;Some machines are really useful to reduce human suffering and augment our collective capabilities. Some machines are just useless, polluting gadgets. I think ML sits in the middleground: if your job is pissing meaningless code all day that&amp;#x27;s very repetitive it can probably do it for you... but if you have to actually do R&amp;amp;D to develop new tools i don&amp;#x27;t think ML will be any use.&lt;p&gt;So yes AI can reduce work, but arguably work that was never required nor beneficial to humanity to begin with. I would be way more interested in society reflecting on &amp;quot;bullshit jobs&amp;quot; and how to actually share the workload so that we can have 1-day work-weeks planet-wide, just as the scientists from the 19th&amp;#x2F;20th century envisioned. Instead of continuing to destroy the planet so we can run bullshitting neural nets in the cloud that produce arguably little value.&lt;p&gt;But sure, ML is fun. Let&amp;#x27;s just pretend we don&amp;#x27;t see the whole world burning outside the window.</text></comment>

The code is usually the same code I&amp;#x27;d get a few web searches away, except then it would have the appropriate copyright. As a FOSS developer (in my free time), I do not want to risk using code I don&amp;#x27;t have a license for, and thus dirtying up my entire project and putting it in danger of being taken down.&lt;p&gt;2. I really don&amp;#x27;t need it. At very few points in a project do I both think &amp;quot;I want to continue this&amp;quot; and also &amp;quot;I want my code written for me&amp;quot;. I like autocomplete, I use autocomplete, and I like Visual Studio&amp;#x27;s suggestions, too. It&amp;#x27;s only wrong 50% of the time, around about. I have no interest in a tool that writes my code for me, because I have learned everything I know from solving problems myself.&lt;p&gt;Edit: Clauses in the AI&amp;#x27;s ToS like &amp;quot;all code generated is yours&amp;quot; or something is akin to a sign on a bar saying &amp;quot;if you hit someone in here it&amp;#x27;s not assault&amp;quot; -- it doesn&amp;#x27;t change the facts whatsoever, and the fact is that it&amp;#x27;s still a crime to hit somebody, even if the bar&amp;#x27;s ToS say otherwise.</text></comment>
