Pro-AI Posts May Be Astroturfed (reply)

The people who claim to get good results from AI seem to be:

- fake posts
- people who are so underqualified that the AI actually is a better worker than them

About half the posts I see are "AI is amazing" and the other half are "How is this shit so widely used and being forced down our throats?"

People who illegally trained their AI on copyrighted content are completely ethical and would never ever use their AI chatbots to flood the Internet with posts on how awesome AI is.

My personal experience with Antigravity was "piece of shit not ready for prime time". I actually get decent results from google AI search, so I'll probably just use that and cut+paste+edit the code. I haven't tried the ones that are allegedly better, like Claude. Maybe I'll give it another try in a year.

If the AI is too stupid to not notice I don't have node installed, or even bother asking, it's not going to be handling other tasks well.

I was curious and checked other forums. Developers are able to use this. You probably messed it up by restricting so much stuff, it had no tested fallback mode. The fact that you burnt a lot of your tokens because the library kept wanting node.js and other stuff indicates that the product is young code that has only been tested in a best case, average developer situation. I mean yeah, it's shit and it's non ideal but companies rush stuff out into developer's hands.

I still have no idea WTF Antigravity is supposed to do tho.

I was expecting it to be something usable. Not something that had obvious bugs someone who paid attention for 15 minutes would notice.

You're misusing it.

You're just supposed to put it on your resume.

I decided to give Google Antigravity a try. It was awful.

I had it set to strictest permissions, ask for everything.

It kept trying to invoke node.js. I don't have node.js installed on my PC. It burned through 1/3 of my free quota trying to invoke node.js.

It burned the rest of my quota trying to invoke Python. I do have Python on my PC and told it the path. It kept failing.

My task was getting an implementation of text-to-image using an API call using Google's library. It made a whole bunch of mistakes.

1. The consumer and enterprise API have different features. It was giving me enterprise code but I have consumer.

2. Google deprecates and removes its APIs every few months. It was coding to a deprecated API.

3. Google gives you zero images on free tier, so it never would have worked anyway even if I got finished.

I uninstalled antigravity. Maybe I'll give it a try again in a year or two.

The editor was buggy. The installer said "you should install as user not administrator". Then when I ran it, it said "cannot auto-update, must be installed as administrator".

On the GUI, you could change the permission levels, but it didn't remember the choice after you closed the dialog.

Such basic errors made it look like nobody ever tried seriously using it.
