"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

What I don't get, is people's inability to cope with their own limitations, or find their way out of problems without asking a magic box to do everything for them. Yes I have done some coding. Asking on Stack Overflow wasn't even that bad, and eventually you could find an answer to almost anything there if you knew what you were looking for. Paging through programming books looking for answers was relatively a lot more difficult. However, both actually taught you things during the process, you made mistakes, learned, etc. The AI is teaching you nothing it's just doing work for you. I don't respect that, if you use it that's you're business but it's not your code and not your product or whatever.
I don't know who those people are. I coded for 20 years before LLMs, and I coped just fine.
Unless you ask it to explain things to you. Which is often required to fix the things that the AI can't get right on its own.
How is it not my code?
An LLM cannot ever "explain" anything to anyone, because it doesn't know anything. How are people still trusting anything these fucking things say?
Right?? It's bizarre to me that otherwise-smart-seeming people will think they can write "explain your reasoning" to the AI and it will explain its reasoning.
Yes, it will write some fluent response that reads as an explanation of its reasoning. But you may not even be talking to the same model that wrote the original text when you get the "explanation".
Because it's right more often than google? I swear you AI critics aren't actually using AI.
Agreed. Delusional mindsets stuck in 2023. I've never seen more entitled people before punching on FOSS devs and how they use their free time. "We need high quality, human coded FOSS programs with ZERO AI slop in them!" "Why no, I've never contributed to an open source project, nor do I know how to code, why do you ask?"
Forks exist, get over it.
In case you missed it, courts have ruled that works produced by AI cannot have copyright, because it was not made by a human.
You can make use of AI-generated code, but you didn't write it. Since you can't copyright it, it's not your code - it's our code, comrade.
Courts have ruled that art that was 100% generated by AI cannot be copyrighted by the AI, because the AI is not a human person.
The same courts have also ruled that works that were assisted by AI but created by a human can be copyrighted by that human.
Thankfully real life is far more nuanced than "fuck ai" allows.
