Why people are so compelled to gospel about their saviors to others? Why tech became a cult?
>Side projects is completely upto you
That hardly strikes me as "gospel about their saviors" to me. Not to mention at least in my circles that statement is approximately true, even at a company that hasn't gone full AI-crazy (eg. with unlimited token spend and AI use leaderboards).
Even my most contrarian friends have a hard time justifying coding by hand. To say it slopaganda style; That’s not a cult, that’s common sense.
That's not common sense, that's bs.
> What about attributions and disclaimers for AI generated work? If you’re concerned being transparent to anyone seeing your work, either create an AI specific account that commits with your name or add a big disclaimer to your project’s readme that this is AI slop and there be dragons.
Hope that helps clarify my stance. :)
>A few years ago I’d never have added Google or StackOverflow as co-authors.
That's not as good of an argument as you think. If you copied entire functions or files wholesale, it would be fair to attribute that, even if you "reviewed" it.
But I would not ever call the StackOverflow user a "co-author" on my commits.
I think that distinction matters.
> A few years ago I’d never have added Google or StackOverflow as co-authors. But I would have added a link to post that helped and I’ll continue to do so now.
I take responsibility when I am driving the AI. I wouldn't call my vehicle the "co-driver," even in cruise control (or these days, self-driving mode). Yes, it's doing a ton of work for me, but it is still just a tool.
I do think it's useful to log what model was used, but not as "co-author."
Exception: if a cloud agent designs and authors a commit autonomously, then it can be the "author," if only because I want it to be clear that my hands weren't on the wheel.
On the other, what they output is ultimately a (complicated) modification of the training data they’ve ingested, so people should made sure to attribute any code that’s been generated using an LLM trained on BSD sources appropriately.
1. 100% human 0% AI.
2. 100% AI, 0% human.
3. Everything in between.
1 and 2 are easy enough, but in 3 the human effort is not clearly legible or even measurable.
This is the way

Advertising seems like the main reason, and maybe trying to over-anthropomorphize the tools.
