"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 hate it but honestly most people are probably using that shit and lying about it in commits.
If this note were added to the commit whenever an LLM were used to author code then this would be a good feature but just silently adding it is so shitty.
I mean I suspect people use AI to write code but disguise it because they know it will upset others so it’s more likely than not that the commit was authored by AI even if VS Code can’t see it.
Anyone dumb enough to leave that setting on probably doesn’t know what they are doing and probably is using AI.
It’s still shit and misleading though and MS shouldn’t do it. I use VS Codium so I need to make sure it doesn’t happen there too.
