What does it mean for a programming language to be AI slop? (lemmy.ml)

I have seen people on the Fediverse saying that Rust, Python and some other languages are AI slop now.

Apart from the numerous ethical problems with AI, what are the practical implications of this? If a language itself is vibe coded, does that mean any software written in that language will also be buggy and perform worse? Or is it fine to use a vibe coded language like Rust as long as I don't use AI myself?

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.

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.
