Pride in one'one's journey, the feeling of accomplishment for creating/learning/doing something, and the general art within the act...

Yes, it's ironic that the stock photo companies offer on-demand image generation when the private galleries only offer photos which required an adventure and effort.

I don't think using AI as such is the core problem here. It's the type of use. Vibe coding, brain off coding and blind trust are the issue, and an issue everywhere, just enterprises were never really about quality in the first place. But eventually, they too will generate more crap than they can handle.

I mean, we have no idea how tridge is using claude. I would easily give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not vibe-coding, is involved in the change (not just turning on auto-accept), and reviews the output before committing.

But it seems like everyone's immediate hot take here and on Mastodon is to assume the worst and shit on him.

To be precise, I meant the open source as a whole, as this is what the parent poster mentioned. I don't know about Tridge, I would review the changes first to see what happened there.

For rsync in general, I would say that the important value is the trust in it not breaking my data, more so than other projects. That trust can be broken in different ways, AI or not, and the means are of a secondary concern. I hope this gets sorted out soon.

Well it is a scourge in both.

Why ironic? It seems to me no different than s/AI/dark patterns/

How is that ironic? It’s literally two sides of the same coin.
