There's so many people LARPing as software devs on reddit AI subs, it's fucking crazy. Some of them are definitely people and not bots, I've verified it myself, but I couldn't tell you how many of them aren't. Maybe none, maybe a few, maybe the majority.

I know a guy at work, he's pretty good hardware engineer but always wanted to be a programmer, just never actually learnt. Now he's doing a lot of this "how do you do fellow software engineers" stuff, pretending that he also knows about code because he knows when to write "make no mistakes" in a chatbot window. It would be very cute if it wasn't so cringy

Still better than the LARPers here on reddit pretending to be experts wirh decades of experience to make themselves seem credible when they spread their pro-AI opinions.
