This meme would literally be funnier just as a few stickmen, one with an orange face. The AI usage is so unnecessary

The point is that cooking was never criminalised in my analogy, only cooking with mushrooms. I also already wrote why that might be preferable to making the ban on poisonous ingredients

“Claude please read this post and come up with a clever response for me”

The company I work at has fully embraced vibe coding, so from my experience: it did seem faster at first, but also the amount of regressions and new bugs being introduced has gone up dramatically, and so the overall workflow has stabilised to be roughly just as fast as before AI, but now almost all mental energy is going into QA and reviewing. From the customer perspective, they saw lots of new progress initially, but have now been frustrated by constantly finding things broken or buggy.

And all this is at a company which has entire teams dedicated to trying to improve AI-based workflows and tools to make them more reliable.

So no. From someone in the field, quality has dropped a lot, and speed is only increased if you close your eyes and ignore all the tech-debt being created.

It’s more like banning cooking anything with mushrooms in it, because we haven’t sorted out which mushrooms are poisonous or not. You could make it more accurate by instead banning cooking with anything poisonous, but of course then lots of people will keep cooking with their mushrooms, naively thinking they are not poisonous and therefore allowed.

It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure it was weirdly complicated, like

1. Jesus comes down
2. All the dead believers are brought back to life
3. All believers are taken to heaven
4. Non believers are left on earth doing their own thing
5. 1000 years later, Jesus comes back to earth, raises everyone else back from the dead, then burns everyone/everything
6. Jesus moves heaven back to earth, which is now perfect

… Or something like that? Hard to tell which parts I got taught and which parts I hallucinated in a fever at some point

Edit: I looked it up and I am shocked at how well I remember it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh-day_Adventist_eschatology#Eschatological_events

I grew up around young earth creationists, and was taught at school that carbon dating is inaccurate to the point of uselessness past a couple thousand years. But interestingly they did not believe in hell at all. (They just believe all non believers will be burned to death once, with finality. Not forever)

Yeah, I could imagine there being some kind distinction in a language, such that it is always clear when one is making a metaphor as opposed to being literal. I also don’t know if that actually applies to Hebrew.

But what baffled me was more that even if this were true, holding a belief that goes against pretty much all evidence, based purely on a grammatical quirk of an ancient culture. It’s quite a stretch 😅

So I grew up around creationists. When I presented this idea, the only attempt at a justification I heard was something like “in the original Hebrew the word for a literal day was used, that’s how we know creation happened in literal 6 days”

Which baffled me enough to shut me up, so that guy probably thinks he convinced me.

The Federation would never publish fake data, so it must be true!

If it were convincing lies made to deceive, then sure. But in this case the papers were deliberately made to be immediately obviously fake, to anyone actually reading them.

So I guess the question would be “would humans do the same thing if someone literally writes obvious jokes on the internet?”
