Yes, something like that absolutely should be avoided at all cost.
Genuinely in disbelief what I was reading in that thread.
How do people think that an autogenerated nonsense description is better than not describing the software at all?

- ComplexSystems 3y agoGetting rid of nonsense descriptions is very sensible. Trying to set some kind of policy to prevent that is also sensible. Banning developers from internally using Copilot, a personal tool that is essentially a glorified autocomplete so you don't have to type as much, all because of "copyright infringement," "ethics" and "energy waste" concerns, is dumb. It is unrelated to the problem at hand, unenforceable, bizarrely overreaching, unnecessarily divisive and also dumb and I hate it.
- growfeather 3y agoIt’s like when these AIs were released someone threw a giant rock in the pond. It’s still rippling, but it’ll eventually settle down, because there’s obviously a middle ground, which is what you’ve described. I think we will get there.

- WirelessGigabit 3y agoAllTrails does this too, to an extend. When you create a route it asks for a couple of questions (think checkboxes). But it then writes it out as human written text as a way to make you believe someone has actually curated a piece of text describing this hike, which actually ends up being an overgrown trail on someone's private property. What's worse is that they have the condensed information and decide to make it harder to consume.
