I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months. How do you even modify and distribute that? I do not think we had a rule against it.

IMHO if we allow, the community gets drowned out by AI vomit and it is harder to see handcrafted loved projects that are easy to modify and distribute.

My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

Are folk in agreememt with this line? Would love to hear your thoughts.

    I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months.

    I don’t understand this, is it human slop?

    Would love to hear your thoughts.

    AI is here and not going away. Almost every programmer I know, professionally and hobby, uses it to a greater or lesser extent.

    We have plenty of crap software in foss that was authored by people, always have, even when it was called public domain. I’ve certainly shared crap code going back over three decades and I don’t need a clanker to make it bad.

    Bad software gets rejected or unused because it’s not very good. Why can’t those same standards apply whoever or whatever created it?

    The only thing I think is important, is to be honest.

      You’re right, AI is here to stay.

      Thank god people like you exist, or we would have also missed the train of the blockchain and NFTs.

      And how could this amazing technology that literally doesn’t have a single positive point, and has a lot of points ranging from slightly negative to completely immoral and illegal, ever go away? I don’t see how, at least Grok said so in the middle of a paragraph telling me that nazis were right and that I should go kill minorities and vote for Trump.

        Only an idiot that hasn’t used the tech compares LLMs to blockchain or NFTs.

        And how could this amazing technology that literally doesn’t have a single positive point,

        Again, hasn’t used the tech, and you’re stuck in defiant rage mode.

          “You can’t criticize my sect unless you’ve been part of it” is a strong stance.

          I know enough about this “technology” and the studies around it to know that it’s worthless. Just like NFTs that so many people were drooling on.

        You are either ignorant or lying. There are many positive points with AI. Just because the negatives outweigh the positives for you doesn’t mean it “literally” doesn’t have a single positive point.
