I think you misrepresented it. Lemmy dev says it needs to be declared and AI is useful for some operations but it must pass review.
I don’t use AI, and think the code is crap, but assisted is different when in skilled hands.
The only issue here is your absolute no vs lemmy’s pragmatic no unless used as a tool in small instances. There are better hills to die on than this and you’ll just lose support for whatever objective you have.
There are lots of legal problems with accepting any AI generated code, regardless of whether it’s bad quality or not. For one, the AI tends to reproduce copyrighted code without a proper license:
Another is that AI generated code is not copyrightable, so even if it’s not copying someone else’s code, it can’t be licensed under an open source license.
I watched. He used a prompt with exact wording from an example and obviously it’s the most logical continuation, so AI would generated it. We know how they’re trained. But how many open source prompts will start with exact code and comment? Unlikely to ever happen in real world. So unlikely to he direct infringement. Someone could easily sue the AI companies with these examples to prove it infringes copywrite work, but then govs are going to protect them so it won’t happen.
It’s unlikely to get identical output without intention, but it’ll also take the infringed actively taking steps to sue that case. Stastical likelihood of this happening in real world is low.
I’m with you in wanting to watch the AI industry collapse. But I’m unfortunately in a minority without the lobbying power, so it won’t happen.
Sadly, it seems to be fairly common to have at least some AI slop code now. E.g. lemmy itself appears to be planning to do so too.
It’s like having slop would get you some prize.
define slop

thats a real definition but the person i replied to, wasnt using it in that way.
It’s easier to troll if you wait until your account is over a month old ;)
i am not trolling. it was a stupid comment
This is bait.

How would such limited use fix the plagiarism? Here’s a lawyer demo’ing the issue: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567
This isn’t a legal advice. Check out the link, form your own opinion.

So is
function isEven()a prompt with exact wording from an example, too?
