"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ignoring whether these languages are implemented using AI (I think Rust’s LLM policy prohibits AI code atm), some of the properties of these languages might make them appealing to AI users.
Rust has its safety guarantees, detailed error messages and the “if it compiles it probably works” mentality, which I assume makes it easy to use with AI. And Python probably just had a humongous amount of training data available, so LLM outputs for Python might be higher quality?
It’s why I think I see these two languages pop up in a lot of vibe coded projects. Which sucks for me since I actually enjoy programming in Rust like you do and have to put up with all the AI hype bros in the community
python is also the main language ai stuff is built in, due to its popularity with researchers.
I think that's mainly due to the fact it was (and is) popular for doing data science. And it's kinda good at it. Hence we got the AI people use it as well, because a lot of AI (and machine learning in general) is concerned with preparing all the data that goes in.
