It IS their own work. The simplest refutation of your point of view is, who or what is responsible if the work submission is wrong? It will always be the person’s, never the computer’s. Conveniently, AI always acts as if it has no skin in t

why would anyone actually interested in scientific research come to this, since it literally undermines the whole practice of science?

Sorry, but this is user error. 1) Most people still don't use TDD, which absolutely solves much of this. 2) Most poople end up leaning too heavily on the LLM, which, well, blows up in their face. 3) Most people don't follow best p

This is where most reasonable people would say “OK, fine” CLEARLY, a lot of developers are not reasonable

You not realizing how ridiculous this is, is exactly why half of all devs are about to get left behind. Like, this should be enshrined as the quintessential “they simply, obstinately, perilously, refused to get it” moment. Shortly, no one i

Yep, that’s why my forks of all their libraries with bugs fixed such as https://github.com/pmarreck/zigimg/commit/52c4b9a557d38fe1e1... will never ever go back to upstream, just because an LLM did it. Lame, b

In nature, animals are routinely torn apart and devoured while still breathing. In a proper rending facility, a captive bolt pneumatic/hydraulic pistol punctures their skull and sends a shockwave through their brains, killing them like

If I were to implement such a button, I'd make it so that only the people who said "yes" would disappear. Life is a gift. A painless life has no value. In fact, if you are genetically immune to pain, your lifetime survival ra

There is no strong argument that they were "trained unethically". You can google or ask an LLM to argue pro/con that claim... but of course, you haven't, since doing so would itself violate your apparent worldview. >

Who is blaming anyone? Does someone blame the manual loom operators when automated weaving comes out? The elevator operators? The carriage drivers? The milkmen? No. So please stop reading your preconceived grievances into what I said. I jus

my first and last name is already a "natural primary key" (every single google result of Peter Marreck is me), so I've already had to give that up a long time ago. So nothing new is lost I guess?

but it’s not a line for line translation. it is a functionality for functionality translation, and sometimes very differently.

Does that hold up if it’s in an entirely different language? Because I don’t think so

by pmarreck 7mo ago
This is not an argument against coding in a different language, though. It would be like having it restate Harry Potter in a different language with different main character names, and reshuffled plot points.
