Systemd (popular component to many {most?} Linux distributions) getting enshittified by AI.

Read @cwebber 's thread quoted below for more.

Also, thanks a lot (thanks a bot?) daandemeyer.

Anyone who objects could approach the maintainer and offer to do the work manually instead... ?

@hopeless - No, the maintainer is saying they'll use AI regardless.

@tinker So if he does use Claude to manage issues and suchlike, that's bad, because... ?

Github has offered bots and such for the same kind of thing for many years.

I noticed there's some rhetorical sleight of hand here: coding AIs do not simply produce "slop". What they produce nowadays is generally good code.

Nor is using AI == "enshittification", I am betting it makes this project better much more than it makes problems (and humans also make problems...)

@hopeless @tinker sure AI is enshittification. It is a failure. I get stupid stories every day. It is by Design.

@kielkontrovers @tinker

Yes I also get stupid stories about the scary AI here on Masto every day. However I am also having generally big successes on my actual code with the coding AI every day.

So especially when people I link to antigravity will run a mile rather than try it themselves, I tend to think they don't know what they're talking about, but instead bobbing along behind the loudest, most strident voices.

@hopeless @tinker I think people still talk too positive about AI. I have more fear of AI than of war or atomic war, which is too far away and much more abstract to me. I know I am an will be affected of stupid AI and that pisses me of.
