Yeah, I find it hard to understand why some have given up a #Linux distribution because of #AI tool usage when the kernel is accepting the same tooling…

My favorite #BSD is still #macOS and I’m pretty sure #LLM tooling is being used! 🤷🏼‍♂️

@jae
Agree. I am not worried at all. I assume a lot more code is LLM-generated than we think; many are unwilling to admit it from social pressure.

@bryan @jae That’s a weird interpretation. I don’t think anyone who would give up a Linux distro because of LLM usage is happy about the kernel using LLMs, it’s just that’s harder to switch away from. Even if one can’t avoid LLM-tainted software completely it’s not unreasonable to avoid it where it’s possible to avoid.

@jae @bryan “it’s hard to understand” → you get an explanation → you get offended by having things explained to you.

I apologise for wasting your time. It’s clear that you’ve already decided that you’re in the right and you simply want to dismiss any criticisms of LLM usage.

@benjamineskola @jae I don’t appreciate nor like how LLM have turned some prompt writers into junk code submitters. An LLM is in a sense like a gun, where weak, unskilled people suddenly declare themselves warriors. They are not, and it’s wasting everyone’s time.

At the same time, these tools are not ever going away. An LLM is a downloadable gun. The tools are as easy to use and install as vim, emacs, etc. The tide has turned, as they say, and the world is not going back. This is why I do think it’s hard to understand why people would give up a distro or software they’ve used and loved. Because the writers of said software have decided to use a new tool? I get the gut feeling of wanting to lash out. But I don’t think it is a long-term rational move.
