The article argues against AI coding by claiming that AI-generated code lacks the creative authenticity of art, dehumanizes programmers, and mainly shifts value from labor to capital in a way that can harm workers and “human interests.” It invokes Karl Marx’s 1857–1858 discussion of intellectual work being absorbed into capital and focuses on programming as intellectual labor. As a result, it concludes that AI coding is justified only if you already accept those underlying assumptions about art, labor, and corporate control rather than by practical software outcomes.
