    So now sabotaging people’s work because you don’t like how they do it passes the social media ethical purity test? Ok then.

        Yes, work done by people using AI as a tool. They’re people and he’s sabotaging their work. Yaaay! Fuck somebody up for using power tools instead of hand tools! The mob says it’s the devil’s work! Grab the pitchforks!!!

          If they are commiting code they don’t understand, this is but one of the issues they are going to get hit by. They can’t blame the AI, the buck stops with them.

            I agree that committing code without checking it is sloppy work. But that doesn’t excuse fucking with somebody’s work.

              Guessing you don’t like GPL either. Restricting those developers down stream of you.

                  I don’t think you can be pro copyleft and pro-today’s-LLMs, which are used to wash away copyleft. Copyleft and LLM poison the code and downstream developers have to play nice.

        No. Copypasting pieces of existing code has been standard practice for human programmers since the beginning of programming. Deciding to call it “plagiarism” because it’s been automated is just ignorant.

            Only to an outsider. Starting with an example and modifying it is a very standard, time-honored programming practice that has never been demonized that I know of. In fact it’s the norm for many contractors, who get paid for fast turnover and hugely benefit from taking an existing web page, module, etc. that’s similar to their goal and changing it, rather than starting from scratch. The idea isn’t to take credit, it’s to get the work done.
