Not sure, but whatever seems to let people provide something to an AI and have it output some kind of code.

I don't agree with any time spent vetting that outputted code vs using it as-is quickly (what's the point of double-vetting if I can make the code myself, trust it upfront, and improve upon it), and argue time spent vetting AI-asstisted outputted code could be spent human-creatively creating the code from scratch.
I don't count AI assisted code as a programming tool since the AI output has to have human bias somewhere; a machine bulk-collecting human research papers and making sense of it still needs human bias for how to understand the 1s and 0s of information and output it to something a human can use, and all that output and prettification comes with motivations and financials.
Computers don't code themselves and don't understand anything beyond code. I like the idea of manually writing something to do something on a computer before having it tell me something that's ok to run on it
That's called generative ai.
Irrelevant when you’re using code from online third-party sources. Did you do any vetting on all of them or freebsd-src? And you’re clearly talking about people who use AI to exclusively code their entire project. You didn’t even read what this topic is about, or you would have seen that I was very specific about AI usage. That's called blind prejudice.
Your comment makes no since. Thats like saying a car isn't a car because a enganeer didn't like seatbelts. Everything has human bias that is created by humans. Even children!!!
Actualy computers do code themselves and at the same time you contradicted your own statement.
That's fine but this topic wasn't even about you it was a message in support to those who like AI, you just came here jumped off topic to give me an oppionion I didnt ask for.
Off-topic's fair game
(or I guess casually showing not everyone's into AI)
You’re acting like AI users are the ones viewed negatively. In reality, far more people use AI than don’t the anti-AI crowd is the minority. The “bad look” comes from attacking people for using tools.
I am not a slave and your not my master, if I want to create a topic on these forums provided I comply with forum rules you have no place to say anything to me at all.
Same here, multiple times. There are places where you are not even allowed to use the internet, and the local network is, well, airgaped and locked down otherwise. No code written in these places will ever see a public repo.
Oh yes, it is. Been there, done that.
This is indeed a good question. Who will try an answer?
I liked the original version of the post before the edits. I’m not really comfortable with the idea of ignoring people, though! Even if we disagree, I think open discussion is healthier than shutting others out.
I updated it, they were upsetting me.
I neither follow nor ignore anyone.

And where are yours?
Not possible. He's (most likely) using his company's AI to write commercial code (aka: his financial gain). I believe you can sign up to beta test. Interested (how do you think bug reports will go)?
I use it liberally (though usually I remove people after a while to see if their S/N ratio (from my PoV) has improved. If not...). Of course, everyone else is free to ignore me as well ;-)
I watch in sorrow as my friends and compatriots get taken in by AI generated divisive/propagandist videos supposedly by (& in the generated voices of) well known people...
I don't have any ignore list. I have found over the years that everyone on this forum has something interesting and/or amusing to say. I have particularly enjoyed some of Alain De Vos's musings.
