"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I don't like the direction this is taking but I have Lutris and some old games work with Lutris out of the box while they don't work at all with Heroic. As long as it gets the job done, I see no reason to jump ship for those old games. I do use Heroic for newer titles.
Yeah and the dev didn't say he's switching over to a 100% vibe coded model, just that he's ok with it as long as the bugs are manageable.
More specifically, what he's saying is that in his experience so far the AI generated code is just as buggy as human generated code. Which seems perfectly reasonable to me. The point is that all code needs to be carefully reviewed.
The problem with vibe coding is that people who know nothing about coding get an AI to output code that they can't even read, let alone debug. Then they throw it straight into production. Using AI to quickly output blocks of code for software that is being designed, assembled and reviewed by an experienced programmer, using proper review and testing processes, is a very different beast.
Obviously if you regard any use of LLMs as immoral then it doesn't matter. But if that's why people are unhappy about this then they need to say so. If their concern is actually with the results, not some broader immorality of the process, then the dev is absolutely right; they need to actually look at the results.
Yes thank you elaborating. I do this this situation is different than (for example) what was going on with Booklore.
