Some wanker a year or two back told me that AI was the only way to truly democratize things like art. I was like what about practice? And they got really pissed about the potential for people to have no hands or arms or legs.
I know a blind person who uses an LLM for coding assistance. Mind you he doesn’t need to use it, I’ve known him for 20 years and he did just fine without it.
How about they’re protesting a new machine that is removing people’s jobs while also destroying the economy and the planet? Would that be reasonable then?
How many of the same people in this thread were cool with that guy burning down the warehouse of the company that refused to pay it’s workers a livable wage?
Because I feel like a lot of the same people crying foul in this thread did absolutely not do that when that even happened.
It’s my view that open source is going to have to resort to stuff like this to survive. Because people aren’t going to stop using LLM’s and even if the bubble does burst they’re just gonna try to get by on local models and stolen data sets.
I’d say this is only fair game if you have a no-ai policy on the readme. Otherwise you’re just being a dick.
I think its on the user of the bot for being a hack.
Hypothetically, what if a blind person used LLMs for coding assistance?
Oh gods, not the “Think of the blind coders” just stop. Stop using the disabled as a meat-shield for reckless foolishness.

For what? TTS worked fine for decades without LLMs and is less prone to hallucinating bullshit.

How does a blind person read the generated code to verify it?
Would you say that factory workers dropping a bolt into the machinery to protest is also just being a dick? If not what’s the difference?
Depends what they’re protesting and why

The guy literally wrote an entire manifesto about how much AI is destroying the planet and how much he hates it as well as the people who use it.
I think it’s pretty definitive that he has a no AI policy.
