i’ve been burned too many times by badly written slopware to afford to ignore it… 2 weeks ago all my handwritten notes for uni vanished from the app i was using on my tablet, for what felt like no reason, i look up the repo and lo and behold a bunch of deepseek commits. that app had a bunch of weird problems but this was the last i was willing to deal with.
i said fuck it and i’m using paper notebooks with pencils and highlighters now. at least that won’t turn to slop on me. i don’t trust software anymore. not when any previously trustworthy software will just turn to shit on you because the maintainers caught acute ai psychosis
What’s the problem, some developers loosing out on the intrinsic joy of creating a project on your own? I don’t think that assuming every project that comes out is made with ai will help fight against ai companies.
Watching a field that’s been a major part of me for the majority of my life being butchered and made a mockery of. It’s the same situation as what happened to artists but it’s harder to defend against because the AI generated codebases often do work at this point so people will ignore the AI.
The fact though is that code IS an art form to me and others that are in tech out of a genuine interest rather than the money. I used to enjoy reading through the code for interesting new projects but when its all AI generated there’s just no point anymore and it’s deeply, deeply depressing
There’s a million other reasons to avoid AI projects but thats the one that hits me the most
That’s dangerous. Things coded by AI tend to not be very secure. Also, they’re definitely going to get abandoned when AI is priced at more than what it costs to run it. (Right now, every AI company loses money when you use their product.)
I feel like that’s a ver pessimistic and anti human approach to life. I just don’t check and continue to be happy :3

It’s wise to record history when it is rapidly revised.
Although, there are still good programmers who will reject AI even if they have to die because of that.
There’s Starlight Network’s NoAI List, the Open Slopware list by Ethical FOSS, the LLM-afflicted Software list by AI Alternatives, the NoAIList.org website, and the Brib’s Slopfree Software Index.
I disagree, ignoring a problem will just make it worse in my opinion

I meant the “don’t check and be happy” part
