Yeah, I don't know why so many projects cave the bitching of morons on the internet.
So many people in the comments butthurt over this decision. Ai generated code is just bad, bro. Nobody wants a program coded by someone who doesn't understand the output.
Well, it's Hacker News. A place run by Mark Andreesen and has huge incentives, especially on the personal level, to worship AI.
I'm surprised by the comments that are smart enough to push back against the corporate line.

If I ever post a comment there, I'll make sure I throw in an em-dash or two so I can get some free upvotes.
Yeah, hacker news aggregates great topics but the comment section is like YouTube comments but for people with PhDs.
I'm really glad to hear that.
Funny that the top comment is a pro AI guy trying to cancel the people who are criticizing it for not being part of the project, when AI by definition does not give care about, or understand, any code it creates.
There was very little LLM-generated code in the first place, AFAIK it was just a couple pieces of build tooling?
Gods. The second I saw that Torvalds used an LLM to generate any amount of code I knew people would be annoying as shit about it. And here we are with people being annoying as shit about it.
Transparency increases trust, and this is definitely a step in the right direction.
if I'd known that Revolt was using LLM code, I would never have tried to re-engage with the community there.
That's quite nice, I've got to say.
