Unreal that AI is so ubiquitous apparently in programming, that I as a non-AI-user had to come to the comments to understand wtf this meant

I think it's a thing mainly for hobby programmers and young students that don't have a solid foundation/grasp of programming yet, which also likely makes up a big portion of programming meme communities.

There are definitely more experienced programmers using it. I can't find the post at the moment, but there was a recent-ish blog post citing a bunch of examples. [edit: found it: https://registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/they-all-use-it ]

Personally, I don't use AI much, but I do occasionally experiment with it (for instance, I recently gave Claude Sonnet the same live-coding interview I give candidates for my team; it...did worse than I expected, tbh). The experimenting is sufficient for me to recognize these phrases.
