I don’t know why people think AI changes shit…
If you copy/pasted the code is it the same?
If you manually retyped the code is that different?
What if someone is reading it aloud and you type it?
How many errors need to happen during transposition that you then fix to call it a new code.
People just want to find the laziest way to rip shit off, and right now that’s AI doing it and claiming ignorance that it’s not a blatant copy.
wonderingwandererThe whole point of the Ship of Theseus is that you never change the ship. You just change one part at a time until every part has been replaced. Is it still the same ship?
That’s what OOP was referencing, but it’s a kind of loose reference. I guess they’re assuming it’s a different ship?
There’s not supposed to be a solid answer. You’re just supposed to think about it.
Yeah, but the comparison translates poorly to software, since there is no way to “take” a whole ship, only to copy it. Whether you copy it directly or rewrite it, the material is the same, because you have the same information in the end. It would be closer to take the ship apart and rebuild it exactly the same using the same planks.
Now, if you ask the AI to re-write a software in a different language, or using different patterns, that would be something else.
Yeah, I wasn’t saying that the analogy was apt. Just explaining the (attempted) reference
