- Beside that never every compiler run costs money, like it is with AI. - Beside that AI sometimes generate working code, sometimes just not and you can't change that. - Beside that in a compiler language you can exactly explain what you want and the compiler generates appropriate lower code, show me that with AI and any human language without writing more lines of code as description than code.

Reads like AI generated rage bait.

Why I dislike AI code? Not because any of this reasons. I dislike bad written code. The overall quality of AI code is shit. Not becuase the AI couldn't do it better, but because the people that are using it are mostly inexperienced morons or people that don't care for any quality at all. And in the end the software they create ends up on my desk. Not only because it already infested the big players, additionally because now really EVERY simpleton can generate a shitty software and I need to filter out the garbage out of twenty applications that promise to solve the same problem.

I hated Delphi 5 at it's time for the same reason. But now the count of morons that can generate software is bigger.

Edit: The complete process of writing code with AI tools guides you to ignore quality even then when you are not a moron. Leave the last 30% of the solution like it is, although its not the best solution you would have picked, or discuss this with the AI for a time double as long as you needed for the first 70%.

When you add information how hacking works to the training sets, then the agent learnt to hack. When you crawl the complete internet, you add hacking to the training set. Yes, it's difficult to stop someone that knows all free existing knowledge about hacking when you give him a connection to the internect. Nothing new, wheres the point?

You forget one thing. It's neither illegal nor immoral to just delete AI that doesn't do what you say. AI has no rights and there is no prison for AI. It's does the wrong thing, you kill it. At least when you are not irrespective...

Maybe you just think in the wrong words. Attack? Why attack? When you are a machine, there is no moral. Accessing data is accessing data. When way 1 is not working, use way 2.

Why should Flathub accept vibecoded shit. You don't let just anyone who rings the doorbell into your house, either.

I see no difference anymore. I used Windows because it worked and didn't break obvious things. Thats gone. I switched to Linux because the user experience is now better. Never expected that this switch happens because Windows gets worse...hoped everytime Linux gets better.

Windows users, welcome to the world of Linux! Now you don't need to have to install Linux to experience the Linux way of working.

I expect that using Rust is in some years just the sign for vibe coded shit that only doesn't crashes every two minutes because the compiler is stopping the AI from doing the really dumb things.

Would one of this users tell their opponents what he is doing? And if yes, would anyone wonder when the opponent would use this information. Be dumb, win dumb prices.

When you put a unpublished sizeable portion of your life in a ChatGPT window, then it's your own fault. I trust these AI companies as far as I can throw one of their data centers.

When your work is unimportant enough for you to not setup a local AI, just shut up.

When you want your unpublished work unpublished, don't store them on other peoples computers. Especially not on people their job it is to use data to create money.

Would this data moved through a hack to ChatGPT, this would be another thing, but like this. No pity at all.

Rebuilding from clean source on a infected device. Whats the point? Could be every computer virus from 30 years ago.

When I understood correctly, this one is crippled, because only strip can infect other files.

27 years ago we named this link virus. It worked well on DOS, Windows and on every other OS where the user who executed a infected file had enough access rights to change other executables.

But this one is crippled because there is only one file that can infect other files.
