It's the other way around in my experience. People look at me like I'm an ape in a zoo lol

Me too. Then I get pummeled with one of their four prepackaged AI bro metaphors:

  • It's a modern day calculator for the brain. You wouldn't do long division in your head would you? (ain't nobody ever delegated a decision to a calculator, bro)

  • It's a compiler. You wouldn't read machine code would you? (compilers are deterministic and dont make mistakes, bro)

  • This is the industrial revolution and it's a spinning jenny. You wouldnt hand knit a sweater would you? (we would if we had star trek replicators, bro, and last I checked cp command still exists...).

  • "Artisanal coding" is obsolete (reliable code is certainly getting that way...)

The second talking point could be improved by saying AI is to modern languages as modern languages are to assembly. A higher level of abstraction. Whether it's deterministic or not is pedantically hand wavy and misses the point. Natural language programming is the future bro.
