    As long as my system stays stable, and it is properly noted in the code, idk.

    If at this point every major codebase is using AI for development, and AI is unavoidable, might as well embrace it on your own terms.

      Most things are only inevitable if accepted. Human history is plagued with things that never should have been considered, let alone accepted.

      Laziest attitude. An excuse to just comply and conform. If it’s something you oppose, then fucking oppose it. Your expression of apathy is what most people do, but plenty don’t really want to. Then grow a spine. No offense with my hyperbole.

          I don’t know what that is; not a professional developer. And I truly meant when I said no offense because I was simply latching onto your comment to address the principle. If you - or whomever - don’t have a problem with integrating AI, then my statement isn’t directed toward you. It seemed based on your wording, that you’re opposed to it but accept the inevitability and therefore embrace it. That’s exactly what allows it to flourish - everyone sharing that reaction.

              I agree that’s something you need to pay attention to, for sure. That doesn’t mean all developers therefore need to use AI in their applications, it just means you should stay up to date and aware of these things.

      Why? People use linux even though windows seems unavoidable, people use privacy respecting messaging services when everyone says to contact them on whatsapp, so many people use reddit, barely anybody uses lemmy

      If you cant completely avoid something, should you just give up on trying at all?

      Why are people giving something that is ruining the internet, politics, learning, the environment, jobs, art, mental health so much leniency

        I’m just gonna say that this diminishes the seriousness of AIDS more than it serves as a reasonable analogy.

        OK, other coments are valid, but this borders on rage bait.

        To answer your wuestion, one has 0 uses beside causing harm to people, other has geniue, valid uses that help humanity. There is a saying “if you cant beat it, join it” and how I see it AI is forced on us, or will be soon enough, and I see no way to fight it in long term (though some people aparently do, so kudos to them). I will embrace AI on my term, by selfhosting European open-source models, and educate my family about dangers of AI, and how to use it safely. Telling them AI is satan while their conpany forces them at every step of their job, if they don’t know how to safetly use it, might end up with more problems than solutions.

        In a way I am fighting AI as in “corporate AI” but embracing “lesser of the two evils AI”. Thus embracing it on my terms.

        To use your example, I am not forcing AIDS on my family, but educating them about it and giving them shots agains other lesser diseases like HPV.

          Ah, yes, “I don’t like it so I’ll call it ragebait.” There is no lesser of two evils, it all has the same source. The models that are usable in any capacity are trained by the same companies on the same stolen data. You may have given up yourself and it’s your business, but go fuck yourself for telling others that they must embrace it and there is no alternative.

            I never said other people should follow my steps. Well, let’s just agree to disagree.
