human-developed

Love the distinction. LOL

it’s today’s trend! One I happen to agree with, which is nice.

I’m trying to limit LLM exposure on this one to “as little as possible, within reason”. It’s still a tool and can be used effectively in some areas.

My only real conundrum with AI coding, is totally relying on AI as the dev, then releasing it for public use without really knowing what happens behind the scenes and obviously the security of said app. Now if the dev is using AI as an assistant, and the dev is knowledgeable enough to know that things are operating securely, I’m ok with it.
Yeah, there’s a version of using AI to help with coding that’s more along the lines of cobbling together pieces from tutorials to figure out how to do something rather than just straight up asking for code and blindly adding it. It’s obviously not going to be as good as code from someone experienced who’s managed to internalize the relevant documentaion, but it’s at least informed by a human who understands what it’s doing

Also people who think they can just vibe code without ever learning how to code for real. I’ll “vibe code”, but I’m also 10+ years experienced. I can quickly detect bullshit from the AI and I check pretty thoroughly.

Some dentist turned vibe coder will make absolute trash

We have IDEs and all kinds of tools to help us code. AI is just another tool. Granted, it’s a tool that needs some heavy regulation, but a tool nonetheless.
@irmadlad @reabsorbthelight in the case of coding also needs supervision. it would totally push to prod on friday closing time lol. But yes it can be a useful tool for certain things....n ot everything the AI companies try to tell us.

n ot everything the AI companies try to tell us

Of course not. They are sales. They are trying to maximize the profit potential to their investors. I do believe that if we could get some oversight and regulation, as much as I chafe against regulation…it’s necessary, and get past this novelty stage of AI Rice Cookers, I think AI does have a lot of potential.

@irmadlad yep. right now it's like the wild west and in large part they come off a snake oil salesman. But there is some truth there since for some tasks it can be helpful.

For some reason the hubub around non-AI software reminds me of produce.

‘Guaranteed 100% locally open-sourced, free-range, GMOAI-free code!’

Maybe we should have some rating system like Rated PG, or R, etc but for opensource software:

  • 100% AI
  • AI Assisted
  • Human Coded
  • 100% AI
  • Human supervised
  • AI Assisted
  • Human Coded

It’s better is more fine grained.

Stealing this for my projects that are 100% human supervised. I used “vibe coded” so far but I felt I still brang a lot.
except GMOs aren’t actively harmful while AI is
GMO’s create a societal harm, not a physiological one. Patenting a cultivar of a plant is a slippery slope, and we have already had quite a slide. In theory, if somebody works very hard to breed a new cultivar, they deserve to reap the rewards of that work and protect their creation. Okay, that makes sense. But if I have all the ingredients to breed that same cultivar, and do all the same work myself, should they be able to restrict my ability to profit? A step farther, and this is the reality we inhabit. Monsanto has created an environment where their patented corn seed is the best bet for a profitable harvest, but farmers are required to sign highly binding contracts with ridiculous stipulations. Beyond that, if a neighbor farmer dares to plant non patented seed, and the wind blows his neighbors Monsanto pollen (corn is wind pollinated) into his field and it pollinates his crop, he is now in patent violation of a company he has no business with that is now going to aggressively come after him in court. This is actually happening in the American Midwest.

so it is like AI - it spreads everywhere and creates a lot of legal problems
