My point wasn't to say that people who use AI are programmers -- it's that, by and large, the people using and enthusing endlessly about Generative AI, including business types and computer science types, aren't creative people. As you say -- creative people don't need it. I'm just adding that uncreative people use it as an ersatz replacement for real creativity.
@narinarinari @argv_minus_one @AuthorJMac computer science type chiming in:
there is actually a lot of creativity involved in engineering (including progamming). This is exactly where LLMs fail in our field as well, being imaginative how to solve a problem. They are fine (and just that) when querying well known problems, but I have yet to see an useful usage of AI there.
If a tool can help you reduce the boring parts (and automate them), its good.
