"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.

Well I'm not the site maintainer, but I'd argue that this would be fine. The question is about whether you're writing the code yourself: understanding what you're writing line by line rather than taking an "agent" to do the work, robbing you of that understanding.
Accepting criticism/review from a bot or a human for that matter wouldn't interfere with that understanding, so I'd argue that it doesn't apply.
There is however the ethical question of paying for such a bot, given that it's the product of massive IP theft and environmental arson. It probably doesn't apply to this specific declaration though.
One does not need to pay to use those LLM bots to be unethical. You pay by letting it examine your code.
