This blasé attitude towards legitimate genAI concerns is only further concerning to me. Like the name and like the goal, but I don't think I'll be using it or contributing. Best of luck.
Appreciate the feedback, but if I'm going to be quoted, also me:
Let's call a spade a spade here. It was not a legitimate GenAI concern. I considered rebasing the repo after I realised my mistake but I honestly thought no one would care, or the people that would care enough to look at commit histories would know enough about what they are looking at to realise what I did.
What OP did was look at the commit history, not understand it and then accuse me of being AI. So no, that is not in good faith.
I think there was a miscommunication and that after all I've seen, funnily enough, you seem more concerned than the original commenter about "being right or whatever".
And you also did admit that you used genAI for some aspects, so the original commenter was not completely wrong. Some of us do not only care about the code.
There is a reason I am concerned about "being right". This is a project I've worked pretty much non stop on for about a month, have written every piece of code myself. This is a public forum and the first time I've put my repo out there. To have the very first response be a dismissal that the literal hundreds of hours I've put it into it is just AI is not only insulting, it also makes it difficult for me to get valid feedback as people won't read past that first comment and actually look at what I've made.
Sorry but I won't roll over and take it when my hard work is dismissed because I used AI to generate the GitHub readme template. That is absurd.
I understand that you're emotionally invested in it, and I respect and sympathize with that. But when you're putting yourself and your work out there to the public, that's kinda the deal you're agreeing to. Not everyone's going to like it.
You call it absurd, but genAI is an extremely important issue to a lot of people. I would recommend you just not engage with people if you cannot emotionally handle it.
This is incredibly condescending.
The OP has put hard work into something and has shared it with other people out of the goodness of their heart.
You're out here trying to bait them into an emotional reaction and when they defend themself far more eloquently than you criticised them you call them emotional.
I found the initial bit from OP that I quoted to be condescending, personally, which is why I spoke up in the first place. But we can all agree to disagree, and hope the project gives people who want it exactly what they want.
Defending my work in a public setting is not being unable to emotionally handle criticism. Framing it that way is disingenuous but I think you know that and just want to push your anti AI agenda.
Sorry, you can call me emotionally unstable all you want but if you think generating the template for the GitHub readme (not even the install instructions or anything, just the template) and some favicons invalidates hundreds of hours of work then it's you that needs to do some reflection.
You're putting a lot of words in my mouth that I did not say. I wished you good luck, and still mean it, for the record.
