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.

tbh, imo the major languages' maintainers are probably mostly competent enough to not fuck up the codebase much even when using llm for codes. they'd reject slop code from llm just like how they've rejected slop merge requests from humans till now.
random "html programmer" doing "vibecoding" is whole different from old veteran greybeards using llm
I hope so. But we have seen how Andrew Tridgell, a competent, veteran greybeard, turned rsync into an unusable mess when he embraced AI.
that's not really what happened. bugs in rsync happened as always, and they didn't have a test case to catch it. in fact, (afaik) they were developing a robust test by the time that 'news' came out.
