@b0rk@social.jvns.ca @penguin42@mastodon.org.uk I think you can sidestep the issue :-) I'm critical/cautious of LLM code generation and absolutely hate the company hype. On the other hand, I run llama (well, ollama & opencode now) with local models as assistants. Not for coding in the main but to spot stuff I miss, answer api questions. Like grep and less, there is no need to defend use of a tool. Just the cautions and maybe the advocacy for open models and tools.

@poetaster@mastodon.gamedev.place I think that’s a bit too easy an excuse. Yes, in the end you chose which tools you use, but (to give concrete examples from different fields) if your lawnmower runs with leaded gasoline or you help other people paint their houses using Scheele‘s Green you better have a very good reason for using it. There’s plenty of tools and techniques that would need a lot of defending if one wanted to use them nowadays in all kinds of disciplines running from cooking to medicine to engineering. (Edit) I just realized that there‘s a bit of recent heat in the discussion and that I’m reading 18 hours behind in my feed. My aim is not to attack you but these are questions I wrestle with too and I don’t see any „easy“ answers. @b0rk@social.jvns.ca @penguin42@mastodon.org.uk
