In her blog post "Stop Building AI Tools Backwards", Hazel Weakly talks about how a lot of AI tools are being built in a way that actually hurts how people learn and work together. Instead of helping us think and improve, these tools often just give quick answers, which can make us less skilled over time.
In this article "The perverse incentives of Vibe Coding", Fred Benenson talks about the downsides of “vibe coding” — using AI tools that generate code based on a kind of trial-and-error, hit-or-miss vibe. It can feel addictive, like a dopamine rush, but often leads to messy, bloated code that’s hard to maintain. Plus, since many AI coding tools charge based on how much code they generate, it can get expensive fast. Fred’s message? Use these AI coding tools carefully and don’t rely on them blindly, human thinking and planning still matter a lot.
According to a New York Times report on Amazon, some programmers say their work is becoming increasingly similar to warehouse labor.
