Perhaps I should have specified a good faith argument.

You don’t argue for others, you argue for you.

Too many people these days, on this platform but also many others, have unchallenged opinions. They copy the opinion of their peers, and they make sense because these peers only give you arguments in its favor. People also tend to believe in what they want to believe.

Arguing helps you question those beliefs. Because to have a good arguments, you gotta bring points, but because the person you’re arguing with won’t just blindly believe in that opinion you’ll have to defend them.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion on Lemmy and similar potent echo chambers, but perhaps for your own good and nobody else’s, try and have an argument.

Indeed such is the big downside of AI, that and the slow death of education/learning. I too wish I could still write code myself. Well, except java anyway, I’m glad AI can write java.
