I stopped using it for a year or so after the big dust-up before I finally nuked my account. I talk tough but my heart is dangerously tender when it comes to art.

I'm reminded of how many people lost their shit (in a good way) when DeviantArt dumped all their AI on us without permission. Because money, I guess.

I keep hoping to hear that they killed the golden goose with that. Or at least that there's literally no more actual people using the platform and it's all a bunch of wanky janky machines just yipping at each other on into eternity.

I think many fall for a misconception here.
The code good developers write is a result of their understanding of the code that already exists and the way they intend to improve it.

If that code is generated, it is no longer a testament of somebody understanding what is going on. It becomes a "this feels like it does what I want".

Doing code-review, not so much. That's what you do to help other people to level up.

But with LLM-generated code, where are the people you want to mentor?

But you still have to code-review the swill.

But if you have thought about what your were writing, if you have recorded your thinking in commit messages and comments.

There is a chance you might have a recollection of having created that code when debugging it, ten years later.

If you asked Claude to regexp-slop it for you, not chance.

Been backing Affinity for the longest time, since nobody has to wonder on Adobe's position on AI ("we're already vibing our source code, use Firefly!") Affinity 3.0 was the biggest disappointment.

Thank you for this.
