I will also say that back then computers were a lot scarier, since many people had never used them. People were terrified of clicking the wrong thing.

She told me this way she knew it was working.

To be fair, I always Ctrl+C multiple once to make sure it copied, even though one would be enough. Humans are pretty irrational

That's not irrational on some OSes coughWindowscough. There was a time where the hotkey copy would randomly not work with no rhyme or reason.

Yeah, I am the same.
I type the code myself, so I know what it actually means, instead of letting AI do it.

It might seem different now, but 10-20 years down the line, they might be the same energy.

I mean maybe. But one is a deterministic way to do the exact same thing, the other is a nondeterministic way to maybe do a similar thing.

Yeah, that's right.

But are enough of the AI generation people going to understand the difference?
I feel like, due to the reduction of quality expectations, they will just end up feeling the same about this as we do about the previous one, despite the difference being visible as night and day for us.
