   Maybe AI is going to kill Open Source ideas?
   
   People like sharing with other humans. They don't like creating a thing for an "AI" to ingest for the sake of boosting a company's stock price

     @threalist we have our own models too
     
     but I have yet to understand what the value of GPT coding assistants are :blobcatwaitwhat2:
     
     wish I had tried during the job though just to see how long I could farm out the trash work before anyone noticed lol

     @threalist i use nim so the off-shelf code things aren't really a thing i can use. i think the AIs are only good at writing boilerplate badly, but you could just use a good language instead and not write boilerplate :blobcatwaitwhat2:

     Saw someone suggest that a lot of coding work now is reviewing/fixing garbage junior level code.
     
     With AI you remove the junior coder and just review the garbage AI code instead

     @threalist like right now my maximum resistance task is walking a parse tree and generating a different tree from it and i'm pretty sure GPT isn't going to be able to do that because this isn't the kind of shit it could have copied from a stack exchange scrape :neocat_solder_googly:
     
     that being said i do think something like upgrading kiwix to use a neural search instead of xapian would be *quite* productive, since offline searchable copies of stack exchange are indeed quite hype.
