Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Mozilla is now encouraging unattributed slop code in Firefox (github.com)

Usually code contributions by various LLMs are easily identifiable because the agent is the author for the git commit. Mozilla on the other hand seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox. Also note jakearchibald, Mozillas AI spin doctor whenever devs question their intentions, lying about the reasons for this change. I think their true intentions are to muddy the waters to hide the amount of slop contributions in Firefox.

This change is about preventing AI from trying to own the change. A human must own the change.

AI cannot own a Firefox contribution. AI cannot commit code to Firefox. Only a human may do that.

If a human uses AI (or autocomplete / a formatter / a transpiler / whatever else) to help them author code, that doesn't devolve them of responsibility. The human must take ownership and responsibility for the output.

For example, if we later run git-blame on a section of the code, we want to see the human that took responsibility for the code, not some AI.

Firefox's policy on AI code: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/ai-coding.html

Perfect way honestly. Same philosophy we follow. I don't care how you made the PR, you're responsible for it and you need to be able to defend and explain it. If we get a "I don't know, chatGPT told me this" reject.

That... Sounds like a good change actually??

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 34 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Wait just a minute, that sounds... reasonable?

This won't do! I've already fetched my pitchfork and ignited my torch!

I'm convinced the Brave shills have been posting Firefox misinformation for years

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

How many human eyes of experienced programmers will have looked at the code?

A whoopsie in the web browser is significantly worse than in an... I don't know... than in a vibe-coded so-called "AI" framework/social network. /s

We can crash rockets without use of LLMs, thank you very much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_flight_V88

That's good news! Thanks for looking into it.

Side note, Firefox now has AI settings you have to manually turn off on it's settings.
