You can hardly get online these days without hearing some AI booster talk about how AI coding is going to replace human programmers. AI code is absolutely up to production quality! Also, you’re all…
It’s already doing that, some FOSS projects regularly get weird PRs that on first glance look good, but if you look closer are either total nonsense or riddled with bugs. Especially awful are security-related PRs; although those are never made in good faith, that’s usually grifting (throwing AI at the wall trying to cash in as many bounties as possible). The project lead of curl recently announced that anyone who posts a PR that’s obviously AI, or is made with AI, will get banned.
Like, it’s really good as a learning tool as long as you don’t blindly believe everything it says given you can ask stuff in natural language and it will resolve possible knowledge dependencies for you that you’d otherwise get stuck on in official docs, and since you can ask contextual questions receiving contextual answers (no logical abstraction). But code generation… please don’t.
Nice conversation you had right there in your head
that you recognize none of this is telling. that someone else got it, more so.
I assume
you could just ask, you know. since you seem so comfortable fondling prompts, not sure why you wouldn’t ask a person. is it because they might tell you to fuck off?
I’ve taken a closer look…
fuck off with the unrequested advertising. never mind that no-one asked you for how you felt for some fucking piece of shit. oh, you feel happy that the logo is a certain tint of <colour>? bully for you, now fuck off and do something worthwhile
That makes it a good tool
a tool you say? wow, sure glad you’re going to replace your *spins the wheel* Punctured Car Tyre with *spins the wheel again* Needlenose Pliers!
think I’m some AI worshipper, fuck no. They’re amoral as fuck
so, you think there’s moral problems, but only sometimes? it’s supes okay to do your version of leveraged exploitation? cool, thanks for letting us know
those very few truly FOSS ones
oh yeah, right, the “truly FOSS ones”! tell me again how those are trained - who’s funding that compute? are the licenses contextually included in the model definition?
wait, hold on! why are you squealing away like a deflating balloon?! those are actual questions! you’re the one who brought up morals!
Otherwise you’ll end up in a social corner filled with bitterness
I’ve met people like you at parties. they’re often popular, but they’re never fun. and I always regret it.
There are technologies that are utter bullshit like NFTs. However (unfortunately?) that isn’t the case for AI
Bro, sneerclub and techtakes are for sneering at bad technology and those that worship it, not for engaging in apologia for it (or worse yet, tone policing the sneering). If you don’t like it, you can ask the mods for an exit pass out (if they haven’t generously given you one already).
I see, accidentally stumbled into a “venting” channel where people are allowed to be assholes to each other if you don’t fully act as part of the hating majority. My bad, I’ll quickly leave this basement.
if you can’t make a good post that’s a you problem. if people end up poking holes in your shit and you suddenly can’t keep your incoherent nonsense together, still a you problem. but:
nonsensically off-the-rails
take your abuser bullshit and fuck right off, thanks
Otherwise you’ll end up in a social corner filled with bitterness
This is a standard Internet phenomenon (I generalize) called a Sneer Club, i.e. people who enjoy getting together and picking on designated targets. Sneer Clubs (I expect) attract people with high Dark Triad characteristics, which is (I suspect) where Asshole Internet Atheists come from - if you get a club together for the purpose of sneering at religious people, it doesn’t matter that God doesn’t actually exist, the club attracts psychologically f’d-up people. Bullies, in a word, people who are powerfully reinforced by getting in what feels like good hits on Designated Targets, in the company of others doing the same and congratulating each other on it.

Fuck you were doing so well in the first half, ahhh,
the poster: “it’s really good as a learning tool”
the poster: “but don’t blindly believe it”
the learner: “how should I know when to believe it?”
the poster: “check everything”
the learner: “so you’re saying I should just read the actual documentation and/or source?”
the poster: “how are you going to ask that anything? how can you fondle something that isn’t a prompt?!”
the learner: “thanks for your time, I think I’m going to find another class”

In that moment, the novice was enlightened
Removed by mod
holy fuck this is so many words to say so little
so congrats I’m upgrading your ban and also pruning you from the thread
on the one hand I feel for other people who’ll maybe read this thread somewhen down the line
on the other, it’s not exactly like I clipped words in my post
also, unless extraneous circumstance, please don’t clip their display of abusive nonsense
I bet they’d just haaaate it to be on the internet, and yet it’s exactly the kind of fingerprint of theirs that people should be able to find
that you recognize none of this is telling. that someone else got it, more so.

citation. fucking. needed.
Holy shit, get some help. Given how nonsensically off-the-rails you just went you clearly need it.
no shithead, you don’t post this many paragraphs of mid garbage unprompted then call the other person unhinged

Wait, this is a sneer club??? 🧑🏿🚀🔫🧑🏿🚀

Here, have a community ban to enforce that self-proclaimed flounce.
You can take your piss bottles with you!
once again: take your abuser bullshit and fuck off, thanks
