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.

I'm getting tired of this community man
Have any of you authored a successfully merged PR for a popular open source project?
This has to be a requisite before people start complaining about AI dev usage, otherwise you shouldn't even on this site with the Windows (vibe coded lol), Mac, Linux, or even FreeBSD kernels since they all have AI used somewhere in the development process.
Just because someone is using AI, doesn't mean something is vibe coded. There was also still crappy vibe coded software long before there was ever AI.
I thought the previous thread on Vim was bad. What are you guys going to do now? Fork Lutris and make a downstream that no one maintains or uses?
I have multiple contributions to FOSS projects (incl. small patches to bash and linux), and I'm a commit-access maintainer of Nixpkgs. While I do use a local LLM occasionally for boilerplate stuff, the attitude here makes me immediately distrustful of the Lutris maintainers. Going out of your way to disable the Claude Co-Authored-By on commits is counterproductive and dangerous to the project in the long run. LLMs can often confidently spit out good-looking code with subtle but critical flaws. Commits with non-trivial amounts of LLM output need way more scrutiny than human-written commits, and making it more difficult to tell the two apart is fucked up.
The description of this community literally reads:
So why are you complaining? Do you also go to McDonalds and yell at people eating french fries?
I'm sure there's a community for people who love AI on the Fediverse as well.
Edit: Just did a quick search, there is claudeai, gemini, microsoft_copilot, chatgpt and openai on lemmy.world. Lots of other places for slop enthusiasts to present their greatest achievements.
If you're tired of this community you're in the wrong place.
yes, yes I have. fuck ai there is no excuse. I'd rather a project die completely if they think they can't suddenly survive without ai contributions that actively harm the planet on which we live. there's no planet B and some piece of software is not more important than that
If you think an individual using an LLM to help them write code is on the same level as the usa military using ai for weapons systems, or PWC using ai to manage accounts, then you could also believe a single user posting the same thing everyone else in this thread is posting is doing harm to the envrionment and consider shutting up
just take some personal responsibility, that'll fix it! /s

You're talking to a wall, most people in here are so far into delusion they won't accept anything anymore. They have a zero tolerance policy and direct it at the small fish instead of the actual problem, which is governments using it to kill people, companies investing billions into speculation, and nobody stopping them or making them pay for copyright infringement.
People like this don't understand there's a spectrum to it, from full on Vibecoding to just AI code reviews, fixing that one awful bug you've been kicking down the road for 6 months, for finding information in a gigantic codebase, validating data in a way that won't take you 15 weeks to implement, etc etc.
I hate what AI is doing to my livelihood and long standing hobby. Am I still using it and will continue to do so? Hell yes.
This just smacks of jealousy.
This is like that one adage about the farmer who spends his time teaching kids how to sew, donates to local charities, donates some of the food he grows to soup kitchens, but he fucks a sheep one time and now people just call him the sheep fucker.
Mate, if you don't want to be a sheep fucker, then why are you fucking sheep? I don't really care if this label burdens you; in fact, that's the point.
What exactly would you like me, specifically, to do about that? I'm open to all suggestions.
