A developer's strongly-worded critique of generative AI across multiple dimensions: its exploitative business model built on stolen training data, its role as a disinformation amplifier, its harmful effects on mental health and education, its contribution to social isolation, and its degradation of programming skills through vibe coding. The author argues that LLM-dependent developers will produce unmaintainable codebases and ultimately make themselves unemployable, while the broader societal costs — environmental, economic, and psychological — far outweigh any marginal benefits.
