I wrote that article, and I don't believe "any" skepticism of "AI" is nuts. As an existence proof: I think "vibe coding" produces results as bad as skeptics say it does. The article is pretty specific about what it says the nutty claims are.

Hah. Perfect. Then you’ll also agree with my statement about differing levels of acceptance I assume?

    Could you restate it? My whole point in this thread is that the article is knocking down an argument many supporters of "AI coding" aren't making. As I've just demonstrated, it's easy to find a skeptical argument that this "supporter" agrees with.

      I mean I could but I think a better way to get to the heart of this discussion is to ask why you put quotations around supporter when describing the author.

      Do you think he’s secretly against the tool itself or do you acknowledge that maybe the tool just doesn’t work for him and his use case and maybe he’s not nuts for finding fault with it?

Ahh I finally get it: you were claiming you only hang out with nuts (when it comes to AI)

--the link itself says "you", but that's also addressing your friends I presume?

Edit: the politicians too?
