On: The fate of "small" open source

[exasperaited]

This is an AI issue because people, including the developers of AI tools, don't care enough.

The Tragedy Of The Commons is always about this: people want what they want, and they do not care to prevent the tragedy, if they even recognise it.

Great. So the industry creates a burden and then forces people to deal with it — I guess it's an opportunity to sell some AI detection tools.

We don't need an AI detector, we need a "human vetted" detector.

Who's paying the human to vet it? Or will we have volunteers dedicated to being AI detectors instead of developers?

I don't have those answers. My point was that trying to outright ban any AI is futile and probably overall counter productive, and that we need to find ways to ensure a human hasn't submitted slop. I don't have an answer as to the how.

okay, you can keep thinking that. I'll just reject anything that has a whiff of AI and lacks care. No point campaigning in this admin to regulate anything, so that's off the table for 1-3 years.

People arguing against my point here seem to be doing a good job of validating my point.
