A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Vibe coding. I’m seeing my highly intelligent department of software developers pick up their new AI-powered IDEs and immediately start phoning it in. I’m being asked to review code that was obviously written by AI, obviously not understood by the „author“, and obviously does not and cannot work. And it’s happening more and more as we „increase our velocity“. I’m very worried for the next generation.
But I also go to a chat bot to get search results. It used to be you could use google and add some + and - keywords to narrow down what you need. Now the results are so terrible (once you scroll past all the AI slop and advertising) that it’s completely unusable for searching for anything that isn’t shopping.
I read somewhere on here that if you add the word fucking to the search, it doesn't contain AI and can't be used for AI training. I have not tried it, myself.
That may work, but has its own downsides. Say you're looking for a reference photo of really any object, but in the worst case scenario a child or an animal... You'll be on a bunch of watch lists in no time flat.
