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.
Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash
aksdb@lemmy.world 3 hours agoThe 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.

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?
aksdb@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
The way flat earthers act? Yes. They treat it as a culture war. Just like anti-vaxers.

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?
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
It’s for sure a polarizing topic, I just don’t see how it’s a culture war. “Sub-culture war” maybe?

Ok maybe I mis-use the word. If that’s the case, sorry about that. But I hope my point comes across anyway: I really really dislike that the community (or multiple communities, even) get split between people who are ok with AI and who are against AI. This is, IMO, completely unnecessary. That doesn’t mean everyone should be ok with it, but we should not judge or condemn each other because of a different opinion on the matter.
If you notice a project goes downhill, it’s fine to criticize the author (or the whole project) for the degredation in quality. If there are strong indicators that AI is involved, by all means leave a snarky remark about that while complaining. But ultimately it’s the fuckup of a human.
