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.

- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.

If you read the discord chat logs, it makes sense. He's being bombarded by security vulnerabilities discovered via LLMs, from people who barely know how to code and can't even explain the flaw that their LLM discovered. He's a solo maintainer, and his choice is either to leave these security vulnerabilities open, or to turn to LLMs to try to keep up with the need for patches.
I don't think he made the right choice, but I think he's probably a much better programmer than me.
I'm a senior dev that works with LLMs these days and been running dozen people teams before and reading slop code is a skill that needs to be built through months/years of work no matter how good of a programmer you are - it's a different skill set.
This is about to be a big thing. LLMs are very good at finding exploits and creating scripts to exploit them. Now a script kiddy is much more powerful. Companies are trying to figure out how to respond. Red Hat's Project Lightwell is one such project.
