Rebuttal to claims AI has set software back: the past was worse
A counterargument has emerged against criticism that today’s software environment has regressed because of AI-driven copy-and-paste and other side effects. Software engineer Jake Voytko, who has used computers since 1990, wrote on his blog that older software was far worse. He cited limited ability to fix products sold on physical media, Windows blue screens, crashes without autosave and weak security. He acknowledged modern bloat and complexity but said today’s stability and update benefits are significant.
