As someone else said here, programmers are not a monolith. However, I’ve seen it multiple times on the job and in social media where programmers are using these tools to write code voluntarily. The code produced is often garbage, and I have to reject it at review time, but there are a lot of programmers using these things willingly.
They don’t program, therefore they’re not programmers (and they’ll probably never be again, since using LLMs has been proven to damage one’s ability to reason and learn, probably permanently).
The point is how arrogant this comic is. There are as many artists using AI as there are programmers. And acting like all programmers are just accepting it to send themselves “to the bread line” and that artists are somehow above that is arrogant, elitist, bullshit.

Vibe coders, maybe.
Victims of the LLM scam, definitely.
