Fuck AI

"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 had to use a vibe coded library for a personal project as the alternatives just didn't work, and I don't care about the bugs as it's just for me to run the app one time.

However I did find some missing features I required that were easy to add, so I forked the project and added them. Then made a pull request.

But that made me think, would fellow anti ai people actually contribute back? Even if it was originally made with ai? Or would you go to the extreme and rewrite it yourself?

Update: after some reflection, I realised that it was hypocritical of me, as I got a rule of not promoting AI made content. I will not remove the pr, as they can just reopen it, but won't do it again

It would depend on the size of the project, and the willingness of the vibe coder to improve and learn.

  • Small project: I would fork it and make it mine.
  • Large project: not worth contributing.
  • Junior dev: I would maybe help him and teach him that AI is not the answer when you want to learn.

rewrite it yourself

Rewriting is almost never a good idea, but you can still fork it, and slowly refactor and clean it.
