Don’t get me wrong. I love and use AI all the time for tasks my brain finds laborious. Writing board reports, analysing tabulated data, creating visualisation for project developments.

I was offering a philosophical reflection. If such a tools were available and I could understand their application - be sure I would use them.

An MCP now is an aid, a user experience upgrade. But I would need some convincing it is not the first step on the descent to agentic prompt driven design.

It’s all cool aid at this stage. But is it really a Trojan Horse leading into massive centralisation of skills and compute resource?

This is completely unrelated to Shapr3D, but as a software developer since 20 years, I’m struggling with the same “philosophical” question and just taking the opportunity to rant.

It seems like all current progress happening today is all about removing the need for understanding concepts and skill. On a surface level, this sounds amazing, but what will the long-term effects be?

The other day, I saw someone making a project where the selling point was "No one should need to learn complex tools in order to produce 3d models, just _talk_ to your software. The project itself was a Fusion MCP integration with text-to-speech. So now even the act of typing is hurdle to get rid of.

No one can tell my that the next natural progression is “_don’t waste time pronouncing words, just grunt and the machine will figure it out_”.

You’re right of course, grunting just feels more… poetic.

So when you hear API its ok but MCP? Even Freecad and Blender has MCP just choose not to use it. It’s a gateway you choose to connect.

And what if Shapr3d Team is using AI extensively to develop their app are you going to not use Shapr3d?

Correct if shapr turns there programs internal code to slop I will refuse to use it and quite frankly go my country’s retail authority to make a complaint

Might as well toss the computer out the window and go back to pen, paper, and an abacus then. Everybody uses AI to write code these days. There are just two kinds of devs: the ones who admit it, and the ones lying that they don’t.
