"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’m sure many here know how militantly anti-AI I am, but things like “intellisense” have been around for decades. If someone is using an ML model for code prediction and they actively write code with their own fingers, I don’t see it as much different than earlier code hinting systems. That’s far different from allowing an AI to perform a task autonomously, like an Avian Intelligence.
Problem is, LLM code prediction will likely plagiarize too. Some argue "it's too short I can't get sued", but even if that were universally true (don't know, IANAL) that still leaves the ethics and morals of seemingly stealing some lines literally hook and sinker with every punctuation bit and intricancy from GPL code bases, without attribution.
Some simply think that's bad for FOSS, notwithstanding other ways LLMs seem to harms FOSS.
(And oldschool "IntelliSense" is semantics based and doesn't do that.)
