       ICYMI: some dork used #Claude #LLM to 'fix' an issue in #rsync and broke it (v3.4.3).#GenAI is shit and shld not be used for code that needs to work, even if you have the morals of a billionaire skunk. Lots of critical tasks, such as backup 🤦‍♂️ will be broken as people update their #Debian #Linux thanks to this stupid obsession and psychosis. How much will that cost? On top of all the costs inflicted on people who never touch the stuff and don't want to run anything built with it, like me.

       @happyborg@fosstodon.orgIf broken code gets into the production branch that's a fail on whoever merged it.Humans write shitty code too. This isn't an AI issue at all.

       @mrfoostang I understand it was the maintainer so his use of AI remains the issue. And if it wasn't, his willingness to merge GenAI would still be a reflection on users of GenAI.

       @happyborg@fosstodon.org If it was the maintainer, then it is their fault for merging shitty code regardless of its origin.You have described an issue with gatekeeping, not AI.I get that you're not a fan, but let's at least not create bogey men. There's lots of genuinely shitty stuff AI can absolutely be blamed for but this isn't one of them.

       @mrfoostang the problem in this case is that the maintainer accepted his own work, and that he's happy to accept that work, created with a system that is morally, environmentally etc etc harmful to himself and everyone. Trying to paint this as just about the maintainer and not all the nefarious malevolent bastard's pushing this poison is going to get you a block.Gen AI is the root problem, people being taken in by it is secondary. Would you be arguing for asbestos the same way? Probably.

       @mrfoostang@foostang.xyz For others, and him if he sees this before the block, I'm blocking because I realise he's boosting my replies on order to get his own followers to pile on. Bring it on, I've no problem blocking twats.Just confirms the morals and ethics issue is also a core problem for those supporting #GenAI and #LLM tech. Look in the mirror folks. Are you happy hanging with these people? They are twats.

       @happyborg@fosstodon.org wow you've totally jumped the shark bud.You're oddly angry at AI. Consider if the code was written by a woman or someone of asian descent. You (hopefully) would not think things like "women write bad code" but you're happy to do that when AI writes it.I'm happy to be blocked by you. I don't enjoy angry untethered people.
