@janl@narrativ.es @jacob@social.jacobian.org can I ask the last time you used genai for some code? Maybe not even your main/work codebase just anything even a toy script? I’ve found that often the people who hold this opinion tried it for a couple hours a year or more ago and formed an opinion.

@frank@frankwiles.social you can ask and the answer is never. I do not think evaluating these things based on their merits is ethical. The tool you are using has been built by stealing* from me** and my friends and it offers to rent their theft back to me, so excuse me when I am not interested. *and that’s only one of the many issues **I’d be entitled to thr Anthropic lawsuit money if I were a US citizen
