i_dont_like_AI a_programmer<p>The imitation of intelligence called "AI" is about reproducing the successes and mistake of intelligent, conscious, human efforts. Brain/mind research has shown that when a machine is overly helpful, the similar capacities in the human diminishes. The ethical, consciously responsible human programmer must turn off too much help, and choose programming language which shows what is going on, such as the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/forth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a>, and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C</span></a>, and turn off things with too much 'help' features.</p>
