    Compilers ain’t a problem for me. Compilers aren’t enabling people to claim writing they never wrote as their own so they can sell “books”. Compliers aren’t generating false information on purpose in order to trick me because it was built to be a gaslighting yes man¹. Compilers aren’t deleting anything from certain files to whole directories¹ off my system unless I tell them to.

    I don’t have to worry about a compiler trying to steal all my data¹ in order to please braindead C-suites trying to replace all humans with clankers. So I have zero issues with a good genAI free compiler.

    ¹ unless they have been compromised/my system has been infected

      I mean it does allow people to claim code they didn’t necessarily write is there’s. It seems that your issues aren’t to do with LLMs fundamentally but specific use cases some individuals have chosen. Like you don’t fundamentally have an issue with the algorithm itself.

        I will concede on the algorithm. Can’t get too mad at advanced maths, but I can get mad at the lazy people using it for nefarious purposes or just because they’re lazy.

          I mean may as well say you’re mad at the internet because people use it for nefarious purposes as well. This is usually what I find about all these debates around AI and LLMs or NNs. It’s more so people being legitimately upset at actions taken by some individuals or companies more so than any hatred for the technology itself but they conflate the two effortlessly. Like we’re aware of how strange it sounds in different cases when that’s done but for some reason with AI most don’t see this issue in their argument.

        What the hell are you talking about. Compilers do not insert code that wasn’t put there. Now if your saying well you wrote C and the machine is running assembler then you are a moron.

          If I’m a moron then so is Linus Torvalds since I literally stole the analogy from him. Generally speaking though these are all just algorithms and the issues people have aren’t about this particular algorithm but the ways in which some people or companies are using the algorithm. It’s a bit like saying you hate the internet because some people use the internet to do very harmful things.

          Here’s another
