I think this is an excellent example of how software is different from everything else that is copyright-able. If you look at how GenAI is being applied to "the arts" and how completely destructive it is to the visual mediums, it is clearly a completely different beast to code. "The artists" of visual art don't want AI trained on their work and competing with their work. I completely understand. The point of art is to be a personal interaction between artist and consumer. But, even though I'm quite skeptical of AI code gen on a practical standpoint, it really doesn't feel like the same existential threat.
- KritVutGu 1y agoIt is precisely the same existential threat, to code and to software developers, in my eyes. I take the exact same pride in my code (which I want to be free software, BTW) as artists do in their art. Writing code is a form of self-expression and self-realization for me, and as such, it is completely personal, between myself, and those (humans) who read my code.
