You’re getting downvoted because you didn’t disclose that it was built with AI, then you got defensive when you got called out on it. You can think we all hate AI all you want, but what we really hate is dishonesty.
Your commits don’t list Claude as an author, they list you. But you didn’t actually write those commits. You claim copyright ownership over this codebase, too. Maybe you’re unaware, but you can’t actually copyright something that was AI generated. At best, you own copyrights to some of the code.
Congratulations on being a dev for four years before AI. Are you really willing to ruin your reputation now by not being truthful about where the code in your codebase came from?
Also, you couldn’t even delete the files that Claude left in there yourself. What possible indication do I have that you would work on this project without Claude there to do everything for you?
I feel like you don’t understand why this is important.
You generated the app using subsidized AI. You probably don’t have the hardware to run frontier models on your own, so you’re probably using Claude, which is why I say it’s subsidized. Anthropic doesn’t charge you the real cost of running the AI, let alone enough to actually make a profit off your use of it. That’s fine for now, because they’re swimming in VC money. They can afford to get you hooked by subsidizing your use.
What happens when the VC money dries up? Well, Anthropic is going to have to charge you enough to make a profit. That’s probably going to mean that what costs you $20 today is going to cost you at least $200 then. Are you willing to pay ten times what you’re paying now to have Claude work on this app for you? If you are, then no problem. But if you aren’t, that means you’re probably going to abandon this project. I doubt you want to clean up this code base and work on it without the AI.
If you tell me that this is AI generated, I’m going to know that the risk that you’ll abandon it is much higher than if you are working on it yourself. So, I’m going to be able to make a much better risk assessment about pouring my time, resources, and data into using it. That’s why it’s important. Yeah, it sucks that you’ll get way less adoption telling people the truth, but if growing your users is more important to you than being honest, I wouldn’t want to use your product even if you did write it yourself.
Nice. :)
You really should disclose that it’s AI generated.
I do not remember my first breath, because I was literally a newborn. Dumb clanker.
The hottest August ever so far.
I use (and created) Port87. Its goal is to reduce spam, but the way it works has a byproduct of being inherently rather private. You give out a different address to each place.
It is not end-to-end encrypted, so if that’s a deal breaker for you, I’m afraid it won’t work. That might be in the extended roadmap, but there are a lot of other features I need to build first (IMAP, CardDAV, mailing lists, and a better composition experience are my top priorities right now).
Note that i made this for myself and just my first time sharing an application i made here
According to your post history, this is the fourth time you’re sharing this here.
Hey, maybe don’t cosplay a sports expert and let the actual sports experts decide the rules for their sport. You know, just a thought.
It would be even more accurate to call it a statistical next word predictor trained on human language.
I was nervous, but it was great. Got a bit cold at 50ft, so we turned back. It was off the Marine Room in La Jolla. The water was real choppy, so it was not an easy swim out to the canyon.
But I did it, and I’m proud. :)
We saw a shark (about two feet long), and a bunch of lobsters.
There’s a couple programs I use.
