It's funny* how the completely false statement in the original post has been axiomatic on the far left, when the truth is that it's almost always the combination of 1) mainstream conservatives joining up with the fascists 2) the far left refusing to work with the mainstream left opposition

For coding, this should be obvious because if you use AI to generate code, you spend a massive proportion of your time fixing someone else's code, which takes an even longer time if the reason you're using AI is that you don't know how to write the code yourself.
“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

If you think there should be a by-election when an MP defects to another party, do you also think there should be a by-election if an MP votes against their party in parliament?
