Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

  The culture war part is the call to boycott a project or shit on its author because they use coding agents, as is done throughout these comments. The whole separation into “those who use AI are bad” and “those who hate AI are good” is a culture war. A needless one at that.

    TIL fact-based opinions and the arguments that come from them are “culture wars”.

      I also brought facts and objective reasoning, yet I get downvoted. That’s not polarization to you?

        It’s for sure a polarizing topic, I just don’t see how it’s a culture war. “Sub-culture war” maybe?

    As I’ve said in an earlier thread, AI over engineers code and hallucinates APIs that don’t exist. Furthermore, hallucinations themselves are a very well studied phenomenon that has proven difficult to combat. People have very legit compliments about AI that you seem to be determined to dismiss as nothing more than a culture war.

      And why is that a problem?

      Google searches also usually generate mostly useless results, which is impossible to combat. Thankfully the person doing the search knows what they are looking for, can try different solutions, and learn from multiple results to get to a working solution.

      Why do you consider AI different? Nobody is expecting it always give correct solutions, just like nobody is expecting Googling something to always give the correct solution.

      I’m not saying AI is useful, but I’m saying that a tool being fallible isn’t inherently a problem, whatever the tool is. As long as the user knows it’s fallible.

      But those issues get determined by reviews and tests. You determined these issues and worked against them, why do you think the author of Lutris is not able to? Neither I nor the author says anyone should use AI produced results as is (i.e vibe code).

    Is flat vs. round Earth a culture war in your mind?

      The way flat earthers act? Yes. They treat it as a culture war. Just like anti-vaxers.
