Can’t escape AI slop projects from meat proxies man. Every single open source project smells like Claude Code recently. Sad times.

Not an ai shill but I think it’s fine that people use ai to make foss. You have no obligation to use it. And I am pretty sure that 80% of users with negative comments would not be able to program software any better i.e. more secure and fewer bugs. Ai made me a driver for a label printer to run on Linux. Code looks fine to me when I skimmed through it although I am by no means a pro programmer. I shared this on github. Shoot me!
Ai usage is not black and white.
yeah no sorry, you don’t just get to conveniently ignore all the systematic problems with AI usage.
AI datacentres are displacing people, deforesting huges swathes of land, placing massive loads on electrical grids which makes electricity more expensive and encourages more fossil fuel usage, using shitloads of water for cooling; and AI is replacing workers, sneakily influencing users, and people offloading cognitive effort onto it results in their skills atrophying and code becoming unmaintainable.
Using AI to write code is like always buying fast food: it’s bad for you, bad for the environment, fucking expensive, and means you never learn how to actually cook your own food.
The problem we have with it is that if you rely on AI too much, you deskill the abilities you have. Doctors who have used AI to detect cancer then became worse at identifying cancer on their own without AI.
If you rely on it too much and don’t just code by yourself, you’re going to lose the ability. This is in science, if you don’t use the neurons on your head, your brain will begin pruning it to save energy. This is called synaptic pruning. You make yourself dumber.
Why bother? Everyone can have Claude pump it out for themselves if they want.
