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?

The argument is that those languages are incorporating ai code into the codebase sometimes without documentation. That's all it means is that they don't differentiate for before this codebase started using AI code (slop).

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.
