I'm struggling to understand why AI is so popular in the software development community. Especially with Open Source Software developers. These very developers were creating wonderful, beautiful things before AI. I would call what they created, well, art. Who cares if they're pumping their projects out quicker? Who cares if we get a new Linux kernel every couple of months? Release a new kernel every year. And I say this for every Open Source project. Take your time, do it right, create your art. We can wait. You would certainly gain a hell of a lot more respect from the folks who use your software.
I have a couple of Open Source projects that I support monetarily and each one has stated that they will never use AI in their project. If the project's stance changes, then my support will change.
I know that many developers won't give a shit about what I or anyone else says, and that's sad. After 30+ years of using Linux, I'm moving on. How many others are out there that feel the same way that I do? This is not the Linux and Open Source world that I want or the world that I have enjoyed daily for the past 30 years.
I've been on my soapbox for a few days now about how disappointed I've become. I've been on my soapbox because this is something that I care deeply about.
