Oh hey, the thing I predicted in my blog titled "yes i will judge you for using AI" happened lol

Basically I think open source has traditionally HEAVILY relied on hidden competency markers to judge the quality of incoming contributions. LLMs throw that entire concept on its head by presenting code that has competent markers but none of the backing experience. It is a very very jarring experience for experienced individuals.

I suspect that virtual or in person meetings and other forms of social proof independent of the actual PR will become far more crucial for making inroads in large projects in the future.

https://jaysthoughts.com/aithoughts1 Bit of a rambly rant, but the prediction stuff I was tongue in cheek referring to above is at the bottom.

Looks like your blog post got submitted here and then I assume triggered the flame war flag. A lot of people just reading the title and knee jerking in the comments:

Funny, as the entire thing starts off with "Now, full disclosure, the title is a bit tongue-in-cheek.".

I suppose I did bring that on myself with the title didn't I. I believe I have fixed the site for mobile so hopefully some of those thread complaints have been rectified.
