"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.

It hasn't really, FOSS has grown more in the last 10 years than it did in the 50 years before then
It's used by basically everyone, though some apps don't advertise it or have the foss thing so deep in the code that you'd not know without looking at the code
The solution is to move away from GitHub tbh, who are actively encouraging people to use LLMs, to other hosting options that don't have built-in LLMs, such as Codeberg, Gitea, etc
LLMs couldn't really pollute code until a couple of years ago, I don't think you should lump it in with the other previous ten years.
Besides, I'm not saying the FOSS model is a problem. I use Linux. I'm saying letting every asshole with a ChatGPT subscription submit code is not a good model. There needs to be some kind of vetting/credentialism/social credit system.
There often is, on apps that aren't GitHub
Incidentally, GitHub has gone all-in on chatbots.
Hmmm
