how i hate AI...

This whole enshitification process in the world is so fucking terrible. We cannot just make an business ready application, now we have these all shit trends about llm/ai, vibe coding, copilots, etc and its so deep in the ass that I even cannot believe.

Due to some personal reasons I am not working now in this messy IT industry, I look from the side and using tools like hammer, hex driver, screw driver, pliers, file, vice... for living. And Oh god how i love that distance.

But sometimes I need something from the internet or from my computer. Then I use a sheet of paper, project what I really need and go to create it.

A, middle finger, I - this is how MS copilot creates "big A, old mans hand showing finger with green nail, big I" And the nail is blue not green, and this is very weird hand, mostly woman hand with some man hairs on it.

It can be a new 3d project to print on my old Ender 3 - and yes, i use plotter paper to create that kind of projects first, before I go into some 3d modeling software on my computer.

But sometimes the stuff that i need is a software. It was few days ago when I tried to use these AI bullshit for code creation. I have asked MS copilot, G gemini, ChatAI and two random models from huggingface that should focus on python code creation. I wont tell you which ones because i have already deleted them.

It was simple: just creating a python script that goes into SQL db, gets data from simple select with two joins, on that basis it should go into directory, get a file for each SQL row from our select, and make a http post onto some API (just http://localhost/upload, with bearer token) posting a simple multiform data structure including a file from directory AND short simple json created using sql data.

I was lazy, so I created instructions - i needed to write them anyway so... lets do it in more formal way - and put them onto all five models. tweaked them and put them another time...

I had a plenty of time because in the meanwhile I was cleaning house, and working on our plants, and... many other much more interesting things than playing with AI and computers. So after about 10 iterations (10! its sick... human would do it after first description) all AI generated code was a bullshit...

Sorry it was looking pretty, All had exception handling, parameters validation, config stored in additional file, nice cli argument handling.

NONE of the code works.

Some cannot make two joins in one select... so it was a 100 code line mess of selecting data 3 times, merging and comparing data on the client side... shit

Some can but cannot just find a file in /home/user/script/data directory ... because when I asked for using table.id for filename and .gpx for extension... it decided to look for a file: "datetime.gpx" instead of "id.gpx"why? I dont know and I dont care

BUT all of them halucinated on the http POST request. None of the models was able to create this request. All of them tried to use "requests" library, and none of them saw this page: https://stackabuse.com/bytes/how-to-send-multipart-form-data-with-requests-in-python/ or this: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/#requests.Request or ... oh it doesnt matter. It just hallucinated that It can use json= and files= in one request, oh and sometimes it even tried to use .addFile() and .addJson() methods that are not exist in requests...

So For me now AI is still worth two things:

being dumped in a big pile of shit

generate deepfakes, deepvoicefakes, porn, and stupid images like one before. Especially that MS copilot even didnt try to follow my instructions to the end... like colour of nail or sex and age of hand. So lets leave it like that.

Time to go back to real life, real tools and working to make some people happy.

Post Scriptum: title "How I hate AI" is not a mistake, I still hate it from the first day, so it is why I didnt write "How I hated AI" as this was already hated on the day of trying.
