@MaddieM4@raphus.social so many people are just not writing code anymore because the clanker can give it to them immediately. there's barely anybody left who works by hand anymore. I don't know if any group authored project won't be this way now. we would need to build our own operating systems and applications from scratch, and even then I suspect somebody would be quietly prompting in the background. It appeals to a very basic appeal for the quick and easy solution that people can't resist. it makes me sad.

@ramblingsteve@floss.social In my experience, there's actually quite a lot of people who got into software for the love of the game, and find the current trends offensive. It's really more a matter of - the people who don't care are more equipped to do harm than the people who care are equipped to do good (classic creation vs destruction dilemma), and in projects with both factions present (any project of consequential scale), there are plenty of neutral people who think "some AI" is a compromise that will allow everyone to get along, when actually it allows AI fans to colonize and cuckoo the entire project until it's unpalatable to anyone else.
