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 Even if it was originally made with ai?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 probably also depends a bit on how you use your account. I have a more professional account and one that I use for personal projects that I might not want an employer seeing. I might not want to taint my personal one with an association to AI, but the professional one would really depend on how good the project was in the first place since most employers nowadays don't really care. If it was really unclean and buggy I might not want my professional account associated, but if it was a project I thought a lot of people could benefit from and the code itself was passable I would probably make a pull request.
