GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you're coming from or why you're so incredibly angry with us. It's not justified and does not make sense.

is the linux kernel "the best"? because they are using AI tooling. Linus actually threatened to use LLM to maintain sparse if nobody stepped up..

is curl the best? because the creator of curl has also used/accepted LLM code...

if the creators of two of "the best" pieces of software ever made are accepting (NOT embracing or promoting... just accepting) LLM code.... maybe it's time for us to think about the possibility that this MIGHT be a useful tool instead of everyone just yelling "SLOP SLOP SLOP" everywhere.......
