*sigh* et tu, freebsd

Oh, no.

anth: ?

I went looking for what Ltning might’ve been talking about, and made a guess. Lots if talk in the past day anout seeing “AI” “contributions” in freebsd (although possibly notnin main yet? I haven’t been able to validate yet).

FreeBSD was my first unix, way back in the late 1900s; I run it personally and for clients.

I don’t know how to communicate to the foundation or core how assuridly this will have me moving to another BSD and urging everyone else to.

anth: Do you count AI assisted as AI generated?

the whole thing is pernicious, because absent extremely careful review, most "generated" code looks superficially acceptable (by its nature) but then has egregious issues when actually thought about

the difference between "assisted" and "generated" is quite subjective, and most of the aggresive AI booster types will call the latter as the former

it's usually pretty obvious when it's being looked for, but imo anything more than "accepted a few lines as a completion" is straying into the dangerous / problematic domain, especially for core SW that is supposed to be reliable

like I wouldn't be too unhappy about slop packages or whatever in the ports tree, but the core stuff should be held to a higher standard

xales: right,I’m not religious about packages or ports. But core needs to be held to the highest standards.

Bah, I’ve got to.

Go to bed.
