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.

from Source code for Rush, android app to fetch song lyrics

Was browsing the code for android apps I regularly use after being disappointed by some of them becoming somewhat buggy, and finding out the devs started using AI to build them (Newsblur :-( ).

Stumbled upon this, got baited real hard lmao

It seems it’s been removed now, but I liked the kittygram approach as well.

How enforceable is this? Without cloning the repo and removing the files by hand and running the agent, will it respect directives fully?

Thank you very much, heartfelt!

Have you seen the following TXT idea yet? I just found out about it, and I Love it!

It's an initiative for knowing the people behind a website. It's a TXT file that contains information about the different people who have contributed to building the website.

Source: https://humanstxt.org/

It is related to the old-but-current "/robots.txt", to also express a belief of what web is for mainly.
I noticed it on the developer's page:
- https://rossabaker.com/humans.txt

Who is the author of the repository you mentioned!

It happened to me as well. Luckily I did check the agent file or else I would have written it as slop.

And that's why I won't do it in my repos, as it's the easiest way to detect slop and I'm sure someone will mistake my hard work for absolute trash.

~~... unless the repo is not important like my nix config.~~ actually no. #neverslop

Still got that AI looking description. Wonder if they used AI to write the thing.

✨ App to search, save and share lyrics like spotify!

Still, that .md is great

The AI must have got this tendency from somewhere in its training data, therefore some people must actually write like this.

That's why so many people think that text written by autistic people is AI generated. People with autism built the internet.

I put emojis in readme titles and subtitle because it has a specific shape and color and helps me anchor my eyes on something, helping me parse a usually black and white document. I assume others do the same

[–] mamg22@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe, though that style of repo description and also commit messages with an emoji have been around for some time before the popularization of LLMs.

Literally just markdown?

This is the problem with this community. It's religious aversion not learned dislike.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I got a religious aversion to meth too.

The sparkle emoji is commonly used by AI when writing up descriptions. You’ll note the lack of certainty in my comment, but you’ll see it used a lot. As another commenter below said AI did have to get it from somewhere, so maybe its just become common

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Meth is pretty good though id give it a solid 7/10 when it comes to stims
