This reminds of the front rust is per se secure that gave us the sudo-rs disaster. The Anti-AI front war cry is ai is per se bad.
I’m tired of choosing sides and fighting battles that aren’t really mine. To me, categorical stances smell like virtue signaling. And I want no part of it.

@i I wouldn’t call sudo-rs a disaster. There was a security issue, it was fixed. That also happens in sudo (it got a CVE in january) or any software. New software has probably more bugs than old but it will mature.
Only fools are saying “rust is always secure and a rewrite is always better”.
For genAI, it’s different IMO, you can say “this has unacceptable issues, I don’t want to use it and will call to boycott anyone using it”.
You could do the same with crypto (or now US tech) for instance.
@mart_e I wouldn’t say that gen ai has “unacceptable issues” per se. For well documented and popular languages, the chances are that you’ll get a proper response. All the while, I understand that people don’t want to have it in their codebase
My point is: having strong feelings about something can negatively impact one’s judgement and at some point it’s not rational anymore, it’s just virtue signaling.
