"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.

Based on what, exactly? I work with real people who write very sloppy code. If you're trying to make a statement by switching away from vim, why not go to emacs, nano, or sublime?
The mental gymnastics is trusting a completely unknown person more than an LLM. LLMs are about as trustworthy and competent as the average person. In my book, that puts them far below reputable developers (like Moolenaar), but far above complete randos like the EVi dev. At least the LLM is somewhat predictable, but people can be crazy.
Wow, that's quite an accusation against the lead maintainer of EVi, and furthermore you seem to be in the wrong forum because this one is called Fuck AI. So last I checked it's perfectly alright to say fuck AI and also fuck the LLMs you've placed such unwarranted confidence in.
"maintainer" lol hold on lemme fork vim so I can become a maintainer as well.
I'm not sure what you're lol'ing about. This is literally how open source software works. People can fork projects if they don't like something about how the project is run.
Because starting a fork and maintaining a fork are 2 different things. We'll see where this ends up, most likely forgotten.
I'm accusing them of... not being someone I'm familiar with? Someone I don't implicitly trust? If that's all, the same applies to pretty much everyone else on the internet, including you.
Fuck AI, and fuck LLMs. Does that help?
But also: fuck scammers, hackers, and thieves. I don't know the EVi dev and have no reason to trust them.
