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?

What does it mean for a programming language to be AI slop?

It doesn't mean anything. Programming languages are just programming languages.

It means the anti-"AI" movement is full of people who have no idea what they're talking about. This is sad because there are many legitimate reasons to oppose "technology" under capitalism, but we mostly get these distractions.

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.
