I'd be interested to see the project author's reaction to this. Will he downgrade to an older version of the library out of principle?

  Why would you expect a dogmatic approach instead of a more pragmatic one?

    We're discussing this on a submission of a dogmatic manifesto.
    • whilenot-dev 2mo ago
      "We never use AI. For anything." doesn't mean "We audit every single one of our dependencies, and make sure they never use AI".
      • unified101 2mo ago
        It surely can. It's what I would assume by default.

        "We never use AI. For anything." becomes a much weaker statement when you exclude dependencies. Your whole app could just be a thin wrapper around some third party dependency which leans heavily on AI.

          It makes the manifested statements become more realistic, sure, as I doubt any dogmatic approach could even exist for long. But I don't think this warrants anybody to bring out the pitchforks and scream "HYPOCRISY!", though... This whole thing is a matter of choice, and we shouldn't necessarily conflate the role we take when we consume/use a dependency/tool with the role of crafting own things. I, for one, can apply agency solely on things that offer me means to change them.
