I much prefer this over the alternative where people use AI to code without anyone knowing.
- deepsun 4mo agoNo, the post doesn't say about hiding that, you can write "created by AI" or "helped by LLM". The post is about advertising for commercial products.
- mbreese 4mo agoTheir rant was about any and all AI notices in commits. They specifically state that merge requests is where that belongs. I personally disagree and think commit messages makes the most sense. But I also think it's up to the personal preference of whoever owns the repository.
- layer8 4mo agoNot true. They state “just add "generated by an LLM" but do not give those companies free advertising space”, and the reference to merge requests is specifically in regard to disclosing which AI tool was used.
- cortesoft 4mo agoThey do add a “or just don’t use them at all” which shows the author’s true opinion
- gblargg 4mo agoPerhaps it's good to know which one, like knowing what harmful ingredients are in your food so you can avoid ones you know are unsafe.
- jonnyasmar 4mo agoWho really cares, though? AI is just a tool. If the code is good, the code is good.
- john_strinlai 4mo ago>Who really cares, though? some people certainly do, to the extent of not caring at all about the outcome, only being concerned with the fact that the process was 'tainted' by ai. the fervor for/against ai can approach the level of religion for some people.
- jonnyasmar 4mo agoOh, I know -- people need to get over it, IMO. Judge the outcome, not the process.
- jadar 4mo agoit is a religion for some people. idolatry is idolatry.
- vovavili 4mo agoIdeologues always get outcompeted by people with a pragmatic outlook.
- sebastiennight 4mo ago... on a long enough timescale that has, historically, varied from decades to a couple of millenia, give or take.
- vovavili 4mo agoI am talking about software specifically.
- sdevonoes 4mo agoSoftware is probably the worst landscape. Tabs vs spaces Vim vs emacs Dozens of programming languages that do the same
- elpocko 4mo agoImagine using software tools on a computer to make a computer do work without telling anybody that you used software tools on a computer to make the computer do the work. That's just disgusting. Matrix multiplication was invented by the devil.

- rzmmm 4mo agoIn my projects I use /codegen and /llm directories. All regular generated (such as sqlc) code goes in /codegen and LLM-generated code in /llm.
