"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.

I see less random screeching here and more shock. Vim is a long lived, well trusted piece of software, and there's the shock of "they're using AI assistance" but more so "What the fuck is that incomprehensible mess and why was it not proofread."

That's the most damning part for me. I'd prefer zero AI usage, but I can tolerate clearly labeled usage reviewed by people who know what the fuck they're doing.

That wack ass "thank you" block in the OP demonstrates that nobody is proofreading, and that's absolutely braindead. AI isn't a solution for lack of care.


More directly, if you're so convinced that we're all in the wrong, why are you participating here? Just block the comm.
