@metaphysician Nobody was talking about generated plagiarism, so I'm not sure why you're even bringing artists into this. It sure makes you sound like a sociopath, though. What do you have to say about those who use it to feel special without spending the time it takes to hone a talent? Like, I'm pretty sure you're bashing the wrong people here by giving those who want to lazily steal public adoration a pass. I also have a strong hunch you wouldn't say this about someone using some kind of performance enhancer to be a top athlete without putting in all the work it takes to be one, so why do you feel this way about artists?
@MegaJ Way to tell everyone that you don't actually keep up with the technology you're defending. People hate it because it's simultaneously ruining the planet, creating diseases for the low-income communities the datacenters are being built in, driving energy costs through the roof across the board, making cost effective/budget computing an impossibility, and costing people their jobs. None of this is hyperbole, and it takes three minutes to find examples of all of this. To think this is just "hurr, ur jus fraid of duh footure" is beyond ignorant.
I should also mention that the vitriol is primarily targeted at the megacorps shoving all of this down the throat of society. I don't personally lambast independent developers like this, unless of course they're hoisting something onto the general public that's a security nightmare. Unfortunately, this is a pretty common thing, and it's because "vibe coders" don't understand the code their bot pukes up. If someone knows how to read and correct that code, that's a bit of a different matter.
@mariteaux No kidding. This guy loves to complain about how inundated he is. How unfair he's treated. It's so old at this point. It's pretty easy to take a stance against this stuff by outright refusing to acknowledge it, especially after making it clear that it's not something support can be offered for. Force these mouthbreathers to bother the packager instead. That, or bring in help who can address misdirected Git issues. There's no need for these grandiose theatrics in where he makes a spectacle over how hard it is to be a dev. At some point, he has to accept that literally every open source project undergoes this nonsense. It comes with the territory.
