AI ambivalence.

I am defeated in the sense that I can’t argue strongly against using these tools (they bust out unit tests way faster than I can, and can I really say that I was ever lovingly-crafting my unit tests?), and I’m defeated in the sense that I can no longer confidently assert that brute-force statistics can never approach the ineffable beauty of the human mind that Chomsky described. (If they can’t, they’re sure doing a good imitation of it.)
