Santiago says many software engineers dismiss AI as a fad

Santiago (@svpino) says many software developers still dismiss AI as a fad, citing water use, intellectual property, or calling it a "stochastic parrot" without understanding the technology.

He calls this sad to watch. A quoted reply says most software engineers have not learned what newer AI tools require to produce production-ready software. These are the claims of Santiago and the quoted respondent, not independently verified findings.
