We’ve been getting a lot of AI coded submissions recently, as well as lots of reports asking to remove them.

Should we remove these posts, or not?

    Rule 1 says Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology

    I don’t think any ai projects can claim to be that when their copyright status is debatable and the tooling is worse with how closed their training is.

      People against LLM parrot the same arguments again and again that it has simply lost its original meaning.

      copyright status is debatable

      debatable by who? who is going to settle this debate?, the courts who serve corporate greed?, Legislation made by politicians lobbied by SaaS companies? Anthropic? OpenAi? Microsoft?

      The “Copyright is debatable/ its just a plagiarism machine” stance is not the Leftist/ pro FOSS gotcha argument you think it is. The point of the FOSS movement was to have total freedom over software, and that freedom includes the ability to study, learn and use it in ways it was not intended for. To stand as the antitheses of that is make Steve Balmer happy

      You are just adding your oss preferences to open source here. I too have preferences, like no corp oss, no ads, no logins, no telemetry and so on, but i have to accept oss as oss more broadly.

      I would recommend that you set your agent to filter out posts you don’t want, but you would likely rather censor this sub than automate it with an agent…

        Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology

        Did you not read the full rule?

        How can something that is inherently closed sourced be in line with that rule?

          I’ll tug on that thread… so can we not use Windows or macOS to develop OSS code on? It has to be on a Linux machine? What if the BIOS is closed source or it’s using binary blobs for the video drivers?

        I would recommend that you set your agent to filter out posts you don’t want

        Just to be clear, do you mean that the user’s user agent (lemmy client) should be capable of filtering out posts about vibecoded slop, perhaps by having lemmy communities require such posts to be tagged? Or do you mean that a LLM should curate what users see here?
