[sdiy] AI code generation

Hey everyone,

Touchy subject that I need to talk about. I just had Claude AI generate a
CSound program for a complex effect. Not only did it hit all the points I
gave it, but it even included some stuff I forgot, like a sound source, but
also gave me a few ideas on how to operate it. And it took less than 15
minutes to do.

I know a lot of you will rebel against the idea of AI. I was one of you.
But this experience has opened my eyes to the possibilities. This piece of
code would have taken me hours to develop. Claude did it in a fraction of
the time.

My buddy got me into this by telling me his experience. He took a code base
for a 2007 synth and had Claude make changes and add features. Claude even
found bugs and fixed them without prompting. The new code is working and is
being tested.

It is a brave new world. Should we feel sorry for the coders?
