Ai coding is like the loom for society but you have to know how to use it.

People claiming its garbage slop are 2 years out of date on current models.

To all those people I suggest you familiarize yourself with it as whats coming is going to ruin the world but not because its slop because its going to be capable.

It could be the loom or it could be laserdisc
