yep, that’s basically my thought.

“if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” is what my momma taught me.

if it’s malicious that’s one thing, if it’s free and open source who gives a rats ass how it was made.

oh no your free thing you didn’t pay for gets abandoned? why don’t you take up the reins?

just feels like asking a lot of people and giving them nothing in return

Fair points, I concede.

As someone who has built a lot of software it’s hard to see people treat LLMs as useless when they are shooting themselves in the foot by doing so.

anecdotally, I’ve built a lot of projects and abandoned them because I ran out of time. With an LLM to reduce the input effort I actually think I would’ve maintained them longer.

do you have a source which backs up what you’re claiming?

it shouldn’t matter.

these tools are here to stay.
