In these uncertain and divisive times, we appreciate Anthropic offering support to the Blender project in the form of a Patron-level membership. This enables the Blender team to keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators.

Most positive comments about llms are downvoted on Lemmy, especially on the "fuck ai" page. It's not unexpected. I'm not brainwashed in the slightest, I don't love or praise llms but I understand what they are good at and what they aren't good at. I bet a large portion of all software that's been updated in the past year or two has generated code already, disclosed or not.

I am just seeing reality how it is, unlike you. Like it or not llms are a tool that are used by many and will continue to be adopted. Oh and most normal people are pretty brainwashed by the LLM craze and like "Ai", you are on Lemmy which is full of abnormal people, pretty much nobody here is a "normal" person.

I think it's quite sad and cringe how normal people around me at work and In my personal life use llms improperly and have generated profile pictures on slack.

You will use generated code all day everyday brother, you can't stop it. Sorry.

    generated code

    Copied code.

    All an LLM does when it "generates" code is plagiarize other coding projects it was trained on. This saves a little bit of time for people who would have done the plagiarism themselves, but it degrades open source projects by taking from them without credit.

    It's parasitic.

    Mmmm not true on a technical level. It could spit out verbatium code that was in the training data but that isn't inherently how they work, they aren't just copy paste indexes.

    Yes I can, this is a bubble, the software made with AI is crap and I have no interest in supporting software companies who think they can replace humans with AI by stealing other programmers' work.

    The .com bubble was a bubble and look where we are now, no shit ai is a bubble but under that is still a very powerful tool that isn't going away.

    I wouldn't support those software companies either, because like I keep saying llms are a tool that should be used correctly, for coding that means being used by a competent programer as an assistant not a replacement.

    Gen AI code has very big flaws that slowly arise as projects that use it start to have a bigger proportion of it.

    Generated code can't keep a consistent and premeditated global design while the devs will slowly become less familiar with the code they have to maintain. So rate of bugs increases and devs can't develop without the AI because everything becomes a fucked up mess.

    We are seeing it with Windows and other software. Maybe when devs see how messed up their projects become they reconsider.

    You see, I would describe that as using LLMs improperly. Like I keep saying, they are a tool for developers to use. They should be used as an assistant, but at no point in time should the developer not understand the code and they should always review all the output. I know we have a major problem with many people using llms improperly, but I will say again they are an absolutely incredible tool when used properly.
