I personally have spent those 100s (actually more like 1000s) of hours studying Software Engineering, and I was doing my best to give an example of how current AI tools are not a replacement for experience. Neither is having access to a sewing machine or blowtorch and hammer (you still need to know about knots and thread / metallurgy / the endless amount of techniques for using those tools).
Software in particular is an extremely theoretical field, similar to medicine (thus my example with a doctor).
ChatGPT is maybe marginally better than a simple web search when it comes to learning. There is simply no possible way to compress the decade of experience I have into a few hours of using an LLM. The usefulness of AI for me starts and ends at fancy auto-complete, and that literally only slightly speeds up my already fast typing speed.
Getting a good result out of AI for coding requires so much prerequisite knowledge to ask the right questions, a complete novice is not even going to know what they should be asking for without going through those same 100s of hours of study.
Without chatGPT I could not have repaired things where I simply threw the datasheet at it and got code to reprogram it, like for an BMS.
I could not digitize data streams by sniffing I2C.
I could not use computer vision to decode a display.
I could not make control and data logging interfaces for machines, turning decade old shit into good-as-new just based on their serial interface.
Etc. Etc.
How blinded by your hate/rage are you that you blindly(!) dismiss the things I do (a random person you do not know) with the help of that tool? Disgusting MAGA level of “argument”.
Hate or rage? That’s absolutely silly. I’m a computer scientist and I value actual skill.
I mean do a little thought experiment. If there was a dude who followed me around everywhere and I could always ask him for code-based solutions to things, and he gives them to me, am I coding? Have I actually done anything?
You could argue that the system of he and I were accomplishing something together but the problem with that logic is that if you removed me from the system, as a middleman, you’re left with someone who still did the work. In that particular system I add absolutely nothing, therefor I’m not actually a part that is of any real use.
If the box is handing you the answers to things you don’t know how to do then guess what - you still don’t know how to do those things. Eventually you get into a position where you have a product that you can no longer properly understand, debug, or make any real use out of.
I think the real tell here is how sensitive you are if anybody calls you out on your b******* and even the smallest way. Have a nice day :-).

It sounds like you still can’t.
