its all to easy to taint known good code, on sharepoint now everything has sprouted a co-pilot button tagged as "made available by your org tech team"

a totally false statement that suggest your employer wants you to use it

that's why all the programmers had an all hands teams telling them in no uncertain terms no AI code was to be created & would be deemed as instant dismissal offence

@mjg59

for personal use i won't argue but there should be localised agents that don't need the datacenters that cause so much damage.

maybe one day there will be an #emacs package trained with known ethically created FOSS datasets for the language of choice

@mjg59

plus mass produced clothing wont cause a plane to drop out of the sky

@mjg59

true, but then its down to values & how you prioritise such things

wrt coding specifically companies are worried about skill loss & being dependant plus it ties the seniors into code review all the time

also I know 2 auto companies that have banned them due to creep into safety critical code

@mjg59

Enablement isn't my issue with use of llm's. It's the glossing over of it's downsides

the techbros pushing it & the bullshit claims made for what it can do
the price paid by the ppl who provided the data sets
the environmental impact of the data centres
the users the techbros sell it to
the anti freedom uses it gets put to
the fact the shit code it produces from poor programmers - wanna fly in a vibe coded plane?
the loss of skills when you rely on llm's 100% of the time
