>I think AI can be a really effective teacher if you're truly motivated to learn

This! I use simple freebie gemini queries and actually read the code produced because thats the actual intent of me asking gemini a question.

Now that doesn't mean that I mind folks running these vibe coding agents and I bet in the hands of an invested individual aware of risks, some percent of those agents could be tests on results, "devils advocates" type things, like "search for security problems in this code", "break into this system" etc, don't get me wrong I haven't ever actually used agents so my assumptions of what they can do are probably pretty naive lol but theres no denying that neural networks aren't going anywhere.

My biggest problem with this seem to be slanted more toward the messed up economics and politics of it all which is really just the usual clueless people encountering and using tech from the clued people with a dash of actually psychopathy tossed in for that extra spicy spicy hit. Witness my favorite bad guys suggesting an actual ban on states issuing regulations regarding AI, and then when I see the money being borrowed and the ramifications of budgets required to repay them etc and the fraud, social media AI slop and actual deceptive possiblities that are most certainly being used, well its just all so tiresome
