What about the commit that added tens of thousands of lines of markdown claiming to be an AI summary?
Or the meaningful commit message of “.”
And the commit editing 1,000s of lines of python code mislabeled as a docs change?
- theaniketgiri 1y agoTotally fair question! Docs / Markdown: AI handled repetitive stuff like READMEs and summaries. Core logic / Python: fully written by me. Commit messages: some minimal ones just for quick iterations — the real work is in the code. AI helped with boilerplate so I could ship faster; all functionality is hand-crafted.

- joshribakoff 1y agoIf the AI did the boilerplate that implies it was not fully written by you. The “meaningful commit messages” — again are a single period as the message for a single commit for the entire python portion of the codebase. My question was rhetorical. Whether the AI did it or a human did, it burns credibility to refer to things that don’t exist (like “meaningful commit messages”)
- teruakohatu 1y agoHacker News is a better place when we don’t attack people sharing their work. Your point was made. Well done to the author for shipping code. I look forward to trying it out.
- Grimblewald 1y ago> for sharing their work If it was their work your point would hold.
- theaniketgiri 1y agoTo clarify the AI question once and for all: What AI did: - Generated README templates (boilerplate markdown) - Suggested commit messages (I didn't always edit them) - Helped with documentation structure What I wrote: - All Python training logic (train.py, trainer.py, callbacks) - All model architectures (gpt.py, tiny.py, small.py, etc.) - Tokenizer integration - Data pipeline - CLI scaffolding (
- biinjo 1y agoDon’t feed the trolls. This was your idea and you made something that works. Who cares if its (partially) done by AI. Whomever is taking offense by people using AI for coding, is just having a hard time adapting to the current state of affairs. It’s here, it’s happening. Try the project, if you like it thats great, if you don’t then move on. And if you don’t intent to try it for whatever reason that’s fine as well but don’t be salty to the OP for sharing their passion project.
- theaniketgiri 1y agoThanks for the support! Appreciate you trying it out. Let me know if you hit any issues or have ideas for improvements.
- Grimblewald 1y agoIt isn't trolling if there is a genuine concern. It isn't about the fact it is all AI generated, I don't care about that personally. I do however care if someone lies about provenance.

- Grimblewald 1y agoI find that hard to believe. You chose to put emojis into comments returned during script executions? You chose to store python scripts as strings in a TypeScript file rather than as python script files? You're even aware of the fact there are no python files in the project, rather it is strings in typescript files that get interpreted as python files, and you still refer to python files by filename in your comment like you expect it to exist in "your" codebase? You're competent enough to put together a project like this but then choose to use if-else for something solved better with match case? (LLM's do that since it's a recent addition to python and so LLM's avoid using match case, but humans rarely fail to use it) Your medium article, your *.md and most of your code ALL looks LLM generated, which isn't as much a problem in my books, but lying about it is a huge problem.
- theaniketgiri 1y agoThanks for the support! And yeah, the commit history is messy - I was learning and shipping fast. Not perfect, but the tool works and people are using it. Let me know if you have any questions when you try it!
