To be honest I don't care if a program or app I'm using was vibe coded if it does the thing I need it to do. I get not wanting to support software made that way but like if I download an app from fdroid and it was vibe coded partially who cares to be honest. I can't read or write code so how does that affect me?

@arctic saw this somewhere recently and like I'm not even like super pro AI or anything but the lack of nuance is insane to me.
Like, ever translated something in Akkoma? That's using DeepL. Along the same lines the freak out about Mozilla adding on device translation to Firefox? Ridiculous. The translation tool in Firefox is legitimately useful.
@amy thinking about in the case of something like Linux where they accept AI generated code but it goes through the exact same intense review process as any code going into the kernel always has. I don't know programming languages so for me regardless of if the code is reviewed or not as long as the thing does the thing I need the thing for I will use the easiest thing to use. If it doesn't work well, well, I've used plenty of human coded software that was dog shit too.
Sometimes I get scared that posting things like this will get the entire instance blocked by insane reactionary admins labeling me an AI zealot and implying, as they do, that every single person on this instance agrees with and endorses everything I say and do, thus the instance should be blocked en masse.
On the other hand, admins so reactionary as to block an entire community based on something they read and disagreed with a little bit are probably not stable or trustworthy enough to continue being in the same circles as me and my community anyway, so it's probably not a great loss.

@lumi No it isn't, if my intent was to say that I would have said it. If the tool I use does the thing that I need the tool to do, I don't care if it comes from Temu or DeWalt. Comparing art to a tool is an apples to oranges comparison.
