GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

    My personal experience but the people who blindly bitch about AI are, quite frankly, idiots.

    I use AI daily for work it’s an extremely helpful tool as you stated. I still have concerns with it.

    The difference is I understand human nature and the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. We need governance and standards and it needs to be a utility just like hydro, water and The Internet. There also needs to be a global UBI yesterday.

    What people are bitching about with AI amount to the lack of control we the people have over it.

    I’m surprised you haven’t been downvoted but I bet I will for calling a spade a spade in these people so rigidly opposed.

      i trust no business to use ai coding properly, they cut so many corners in crunch already that pure unfiltered slop will for sure end up committed

      we already see this with microslop windows 11 updates

      it is even worse that many coders think it makes them better at their jobs because given how many issues pop up with factual ai use elsewhere i am sure no one rational expects coding to be exempt from this problem, so the least knowledgeable will be the most impacted with false assurance or worse we have other agents validating agent generated code that never has human eyeballs on it

      slop-centipede of shit code

      the biggest coding bugs either fail silently or succeed incorrectly and ai usage makes both of these worse

        Again based on real world experience I disagree. The problem is the people doing the AI coding and how they were before?

        I have a strong coding background. I know what AI is coding for me. I give it strong guardrails. It does for me in minutes something that would take me hours. I will still review and QA what it does.

        The problem is people who use it to built a monolith of code and I’ve seen my fair share of that AND documentation driven by AI. It’s unneedingly obtuse and verbose and reeks of people who do not know what they’re doing.

        There is a huge difference in telling AI to “build me a website in Django” vs. “build me a function to do xyz when the parameters are abc and the return value needs to be lmn”
