"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.

Copied code.
All an LLM does when it "generates" code is plagiarize other coding projects it was trained on. This saves a little bit of time for people who would have done the plagiarism themselves, but it degrades open source projects by taking from them without credit.
It's parasitic.
Mmmm not true on a technical level. It could spit out verbatium code that was in the training data but that isn't inherently how they work, they aren't just copy paste indexes.
