GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding

GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

I guess many people don’t know how much programming has changed over the last year. GrapheneOS is doing a good job telling it like it is.

Your take here is so dumb. Many on Lemmy are software engineers (myself included).

We know exactly how “AI” companies have tried to change programming and know how dumb and misguided it is because we understand quality code.

Sure bro. All dumb takes by GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and even Linux.

You understand quality code, unlike Linus Torvalds.

GrapheneOS and Linus have always had a god complex and took the stance their way is the only way. I have never respected them as the arbiters of the correct path others have. (I know LineageOS exists but not much else so can’t speak to them).

I respect them putting in the effort. I respect them trying. I’ve contributed where I can because the overall goal of data privacy and digital freedom is one I agree with. But to hold them on a pedestal as always right is, yes, still a dumb take. I’ve never seen anything that made them the end all be all people seem to hold them up as. Solid voices who’s opinion should hold more than average? Sure. But that’s it.

Yes, Linus is smart and has had good takes and can produce code used by most every computer in one way or another. That doesn’t make him infallible.

Its not about putting linus on a pedestal… its about these anti-AI purists declaring everyone who uses AI a nazi and all code is slop. Big tough guys saying they wont use software with even a single line of generated code.

Go ahead, fork the linux kernel then… these people will never be able to follow through with their purism, unless they go full templeOS mode

I dislike AI overall, but what i’m starting to dislike almost as much are these anti-AI purists who are holier than everyone

I mean this in the worst way possible. Your attitude mirrors the far right and is just as bad a take. That’s their approach to everything.

“Oh, you’re fighting against something you see as a danger to literally the entire world? Well if you’d just stop shoving your opinion in our face we’d be happier.”

Ok, so i’m far-right (just call me a nazi) because i dont have a 100% blind hatred of AI?

this is exactly what i’m talking about… this kind of holier than thou attitude makes enemies out of potential allies

I’m sure if we had a reasonable discussion about AI we’d find 90% of our opinions align… i’m generally very against AI as it is now…

But instead you’ve already labelled me as just another pro-AI nazi because i dont pass your purity test

I explicitly did not call you a Nazi or far right. I do see how what I wrote could be interpreted that way and isn’t my intent so my bad on that one.

I said that that’s a far right attitude to take. Shutting out the opinion of people against it because you view them as obnoxious. Nothing good will happen if we all did that in my opinion.
