It's not that I don't like AI generated text, it's that I'm tired of the whole it's not this it's that style of writing..

AI code is much easier to read than AI text (or book). It's kind of like what people think of the AI generated book cover. That's how I feel about the generic AI writing.

Yes!

Fun fact, this isn't new. There's an entire discipline that has been doing this for 50 years: machine learning.

Literally the hard part that people deal with in ML is how do you specify the goal of a machine that's just going to blindly make it happen (the other half is how do you optimize that function but that tends to be considerably easier). Like, if I want a good image recognition algorithm what function should I use to compute how good my current approach is. Particularly when I don't have annotations for every output.

We're going to need to extend the methods that we developed in ML for many other fields over to software engineering.
