You can take “justifiable” to mean whatever you feel it means in this context. e.g. Morally, artistically, environmentally, etc.

I have autism and ADHD, and have been frustrated throughout my entire life by my inability to realize any of my numerous ideas due to double executive dysfunction. While I see many drawbacks from using these models - the most serious one as it currently stands being their water consumption - I’ve come to consider them a very important support tool for people in a similar position as myself.
I hear you. A lot of times my ideas are just a “vibe”, and starting is the hardest part. I haven’t used AI much at all, but I can see how having a prompt to get you started can get the creative ball rolling.
“Starting is the hardest part.”
I’m a technical lead for my teams. We also have a technical architect, but he’s a bit newer than ME and so it falls on me to do some of the architecture because he’s laser focused on a big project.
We worked together last week because his designs… well they were bad — so bad I was worried for the project and maybe ultimately his job. But what I found was they were very roughly the right shape and gave context for thinking and refinement, and I was able to question things and suggest all kinds of refinement. Mostly all I did was point out things like this data here seems to be in a process that doesn’t need it. Are we putting the generation of two completely different objects in the same component? That might not be good separation of concerns.
My own architectural designs… I have none and I’ve had much longer to do them. I need that shit version to refine. I need the brainstorming process with a partner to refine — not all of my suggestions were golden. I got push back and my own ideas fell apart sometimes. The end result is much stronger for our collaboration. But it was an expensive process. Man, I wish AI could fill that role for me.
In fact my biggest complaint about using AI is that it rarely pushes back and pressure tests me. Even when I prompt it to do so it falls apart under the slightest argument.
Except strangely, sometimes I have it analyze my words for teams, or email, or especially here, and provide feedback. And every once it a while it’ll fixate on something that is my style and tell me it’s bad or won’t resonate or will push away some readers and I’m like, but that’s my style. If I change that I’m not being genuinely me. And so I don’t change it, but it keeps harping on it. “I know you said you won’t change this but…”
If only it would do that in any other context.
Do check the vlogbros summary of the AI water issue. TLDR: it’s negligible compared to the real water hog (corn), and being managed.
