I&#x27;ve programmed for decades. I thought I retired three years ago but got an offer I couldn&#x27;t refuse. Already there were little things I&#x27;d forgotten how to use.<p>Over the past six months I tried using Claude, chatgpt, Grok and Gemini. At best I got reminders of how things worked. People online say they use them to write their code. The code they supplied to me has NEVER worked or was so convoluted that I threw it away and did it myself.<p>At most, I use these tools as search engines. Even then some references are poor.<p>I&#x27;m starting to think this is becoming a sad, sad world and AI is just the new TV of the programming world.","time":1790423551,"type":"comment"}
