  • AI is going to be useful in a number of areas.

    This isn’t one of them.

    The best use of AI is when it can look up existing text that you know already exists and apply it to your circumstances.

    Wikipedia is the opposite of that. It is the existing text. AI Wikipedia would be the exact ouroburos of bullshitifying the Internet that experts have been warning about.












  • It’s not realistic to expect no AI assistance in coding in 2026.

    It’s also not a stand-in for a human. There’s a huge field of gray where it’s unclear how much of it was fully vibe coded vs how much is carefully hand reviewed and/or written.

    I’ve been a professional developer for decades and I’ve done both. Obviously I’ve hand coded stuff for many years. The fully vibe coded stuff is personal, to test and learn the capabilities of the tech. My professional stuff I watch much more closely, and I’m much more targeted in what I’m having the AI do.

    That said, if I were gonna use this I’d actually review the code. I’m not recommending this guy’s stuff, but you can’t rule it out on the basis of ai assistance alone.
