What is softwareen, or "software en"
I guess if someone wants to do the equivalent of an interactive project tutorial every week, for their own curiosity, that's not a big deal. If they want other people to USE the projects, then they probably shouldn't be advertising it as shovelware
Even before LLMs, if I saw a developer's page was filled with dozens of unrelated simple projects, I wouldn't install them. They'd be abandoned at best, or ad-riddled messes at worst
Presumably software ENgineering, as in having their desire to see an end to the era where humans actually designed and built things and now wanting to outsource that job to letting the computer do all the hard parts, yet still feewing (sic) "powerful" and "in control", despite having no power to do anything at all and next to zero control beyond being at the mercy of essentially an autocorrect.
To be fair: (1) our current ability to see AI-generated slop is merely an extension of the past ability to see human-generated slop; and (2) the era of distrusting any "expert" system has most definitely predated any software tool now labelled as a"i" - see e.g. the current gutting of all "institutions" in the USA.
Company has a toy and they need to SELL SELL SELL, who really cares if the product actually generates anything beyond simply trash or not - won't someone think of the poor, poor whittle billionaires?
Disinformation is a helluva drug. ๐ค๐คข๐คฎ
Most likely that was NodeBB chopping off the end of the tag because we have length limits on tags heh
