  We’ve been active before the AI-slop era, even before the existence of ChatGPT :)

    I don’t really care about vibe coding as long as the Dev is open and honest about what it entails. But evasive bs like this makes me glad I switched away from linkwarden last year

    That’s not really answer, but ok.

    What about the activity during the AI slop era?

  I feel like I’m going crazy, because I distinctly remember checking out this project a couple of years ago (before they were called Linkwarden, and then when they renamed it) and noticing all the ai-looking commits (especially after the rename) in the repo so I wrote off the project. Also notice how OP doesn’t deny that they’re using it, just says he started the project before ChatGPT. I went through his profile and the AI profile picture and github.com/daniel31x13/gstack fork are pretty telling.

  Let’s be honest, a lot of FOSS projects have been inundated with ai pull requests, and I looked at some that were merged. At least the dev looks like they’re being responsible about them. Look at the contributors for the last 6 months, claude is right there: github.com/…/8bd3bd376316332693c5074a59dc3ab03559…. Look at that contributor’s profile and website. For another one: github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/pull/1553. Look at that user’s GitHub profile, look at the activity, look at his website. I’m not saying he’s not a good programmer or anything like that, but be for real, he’s absolutely using AI for his code, if not an ai agent of some sort.

  I also find it hard to believe an app that features ai tagging wouldn’t also use ai. So it seems disingenuous to tag their Reddit post with “No AI.”

  At the end of the day, I’m not personally invested, and they’re free to use ai in their project (it is a tool after all and can be used responsibly). I’m really developing trust issues with how dodgy some projects are about disclosing their AI usage. Like just say you use it to debug, qa, or brainstorm, and or that the outputs are actually reviewed by a person.

    While i dislikes ai i think it’s one of the only ways to create a foss software with a small time with a reasonably small number of people. But this does indeed just look like a no-effort ai post

    • Breezy@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      And I get it, I do, but I think what rubs me the wrong way is how cagey the dev is about AI disclosure.

      Use it for your project, it’s open source (which allows me to see that AI is being used) and free to self-host. Like I mentioned previously, I do see the dev being pretty responsible about their usage from the few merge requests and individual commits I looked at.

      Personally, I feel like FOSS is built on a foundation of trust, and I find it very hard to trust a dev/project that (in my opinion) lies by omission. So, while I won’t use/contribute/pay for this project, I’m not judging anyone who does and I wish y’all the best. At the end of the day, it’s your time, effort, money (if you donate and or pay for the hosted plan), and or hardware (if you choose to self-host).

      Especially, after fiascos like Booklore (another project I now feel vindicated for writing off early) and the general trend of enshittification for almost all software and services, can you blame people for being a bit more skeptical?

  The worst part it’s not that LLM’s do it, its that humans do it. I don’t the occasional use of it on things that would benefit from a quick scan (like a website nav bar) but too many people go overboard and sugar cost their text with icons and corpo mumbo jumbo.

  Totally feel your sentiment man.

    I’m a convert. After seeing LLMs do it, and now that all platforms have easy interfaces to access them, I use them in my note taking to help memory mapping and chunking.

      We’ve been communicating with pictures ever since the ancients scrawled pictographs on cave walls with a burnt piece of firewood.

  I do that when I’m stylizing my notes. Helps make things easier to visually distinguish sections and such.

  Although I must admit that I saw an ai do it first and decided it was a good idea.

  Yeah, it sucks because I kind of like emojis, but now I feel like I can’t use them because people will think my docs are AI generated.

  • EarMaster@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Let them think it. All those experts seeing AI everywhere can live under their rock and stay there. Recently an artist I personally know was criticized for using AI in his artwork - oil paintings each one signed by hand. Photographed in a way you can see it’s real paint and a real place for the last 20 years. It annoys me more to see all these accusations being placed without having looked at it even one bit further.

    source

    • renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yeah, it’s frustrating on both ends.

      Readers and viewers of art are increasingly skeptical because of all the intentionally deceptive content flooding the zone.

      Meanwhile, the humans actually making new things get drowned out by the slop and accused of using AI when they finally do surface.

      They created BS machines that made everyone more distrustful of real human experience.

  No, you are definitely not the only one. I tend to be more judgemental of projects that contain prolific use of emojis in general, but that has been ongoing since before AI became popular.

  source
• EarMaster@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  You are not the only one - you’re still overreacting. The use of emojis does not make it AI generated. At least try to find some other hints before accusing a possible real person of something.

  My eyes just slide right over it, even if it’s something I initially found interesting.

  Who the fuck cares or takes the time to bully someone about using emojis? If you want to use emojis do it, individuality and self expression are things I personally love seeing. Say meow, use an emoji (🧙‍♂️ is my personal favorite), purposefully speill thangz wrongggg, say yee haw and curse a bunch or don’t. The people who take the time to make bullshit comments like these are lame.

  Don’t let the haters overshadow the awesome work that has been done on this project. 💯✅️

  Thank you 🙌
