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.

Depending on how willing I'm with recording myself, I will either record a video essay, or at least write some article about the subject. I will also do some research into permissive and "more rational" AI policies of open source projects and them becoming sponsored by AI vendors (there's a very sad trend there).

You can have a look at Claude's contributions on Github, but if you want whole vibe-coded projects, here's Bun, which was (poorly) rewritten in Rust from Zig or Ferrite a vibe-coded Markdown editor.
Both projets use Rust for various reasons, do you have a preference for a language or another?

While Rust is not my main language, I can understand it enough to compare it to well formatted Rust code, as well as will use Rust to showcase why natural language programming is bad and confusing even though we're taking keywords from natural languages (and let is a great example of that, especially how Rust uses it). I already seen Bun, and forgot about itπŸ€ͺ.

The problem with slop code is not superficial.

The game the machine is playing is " reproduce text that looks like all the other text you've seen before". As such the code will look good, read well, etc. The problem is that the problems are hidden. Incongruent logic between parts of the same program. Subtle "unintentional" behaviour. Bug fixes which force an outcome rather than remove a fundamental issue.

Apart from excessive verbosity it can be hard to see the issues.
