Fuck AI

"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.

Microsoft has claimed that something like 30% of the code for Windows is AI-generated. (I have not verified that they even said that, maybe that's totally fake.) Last i checked AI-generated stuff cannot be copyrighted. Does this mean that significant portions of Windows are un-copyrightable, and MacroSlop couldn't do a damn thing if someone leaked those parts?

And then, reservations about including slop in a software project aside, what could this mean for things like ReactOS? They've been careful to avoid including any MS-owned code, but nobody owns slop code.

There's still someone mapping out the features, designs etc b4 the AI goes to create it. Also saying 30% of code was AI generated hides cost of making the correct input: Planning, already existing code, Testing & Feedback loop, Reviewing. Its like saying Roofers aren't needed because 100% of nails were done with a nailgun.

Some tasks are easy with AI, others aren't but even when the code itself was 100% autonomous AI generated, the features, design was mapped out by someone is probably sufficient to retain copyright.

An image created by a five word prompt does not have a creative depth in creation like an image created by AI but with many refinement steps to get something truly unique.
