why not a genuine piece of pre-AI coding art like Windows Vista, Windows ME or the absolute pinacle of software: Slackware 9.1 before they switched to the awful X.org server from the beautiful XFree86?
Fuck that, I’m going back to DOS.
FreeDOS actually does have an anti AI policy, at least when it comes to code commits: https://www.freedos.org/about/ai/ So you might be onto something here!
I'm going back to AmigaDOS.
Finally!
it’s the only way to be pure!
