These research papers talking about AI leading to cognitive decline seem so asinine when certain people’s productivity has just skyrocketed under AI.
Sure the hand coding capabilities decline, but that’s replaced by thinking around the actually product or architecture.
A huge sect of new Linux users and Selfhosters are talking about how much AI has enabled them yet we’re still bringing up papers on cognitive decline that were written on models from 3-4 years ago when Claude Code didn’t even exist.
literally me, i started using ai to help me self host shit. i now know how to use docker and podman essentially even without AI. i’ve been wanting to do that for years but never had anyone to help me and it felt too overwhelming to me. similarly i now have some dotfiles set and in general i have a better system. specially for a lot of shit i know how to do but it’s fucking boring to do.
Fully agree with Linux.
Ai is a tool. Learn how to properly use it or not use it like you prefer, it’s a goddamn tool.
If you are a bad coder you will still be a bad coder using AI. If you are a good coder, you will be a faster good coder with AI.
It’s a fucking tool.
There is no such thing as just a tool.
Except Torvalds is now a bad coder with AI.
AI use demonstrably leads to cognitive decline. Looks like we have a great example in Torvalds, outside of the research papers already released.

I could care less of what you think is asinine.
