A bit unrelated, but I wonder if I’m the only one left that is:

  • Using small, open-weight models
  • Asking it to only write small snippets that I can easily go through, check and understand.
  • Copying pasting from good old web frontends instead of integrating it into my editor or whatever else people do with agents nowadays.

I feel like when we’re talking about AI this sort of usage gets lumped into the same pile as agentic vibe coding and it’s not helpful for discussion. Surely most people wouldn’t find this problematic?

I have occasionally used anonymous browser sessions in the way you describe, and I still feel dirty for it and think it’s problematic. It did not affect the quality of my code because I never did the 2nd bullet, I never asked for drop-in code or used any, but the ethical implications suck donkeyballs so I hate that I do this occasionally - I blame really bad documentation of some build environments.
