Refusing to use the tools that profit the very thing we want to stop is part of standing up to it, how is that not obvious?
We're not talking about you, you can do whatever you want. I'm talking about publicly naming and shaming developers for using what is now a widely accepted tool.
Creating a callout post isn't standing up to anything, it's just noise. You get special internet points for it, but it doesn't mean anything and again, diverts responsibility from the people who built this fucking Torment Nexus in the first place.
The developer made this public post of their own volition, presumably for others to read and make up their own mind on. It's not naming and shaming to alert others their DE is going to be AI coded in the future, or to point out the potential downfalls of the project adopting AI.
Come on now, you didn't just cross post this over here without adding your own editorializing. We understand your take, it colors your opinion, thats ok. Don't walk it back now. Own it.
I think it's quite clear I'm against AI use (especially in FLOSS projects) for the reasons I've laid out in the comments here, I make no bones about that. And you yourself are clearly pro-AI, and dislike arguments advocating against its use. You also appear to dislike the idea of individuals being able to contribute toward any sort of societal change with personal choices, instead much preferring to put the onus on a clearly corrupt government which is itself at the beck and call of the very AI companies we're discussing.
