We also see a lot of AI-based pull requests to open source projects that completely overwhelm maintainers. Bug bounty programs have already been canceled to remove the incentive to bombard maintainers with alleged security issues. AI is harmful for small libre and open source projects.
AI is forced on people because of capitalist incentives. People who care about their craft are labeled as old-fashioned, because they do not like to use AI. Even if the end product (the software) is as good as the GGP comment wishes, the way the software was produced might have been a very joyless process, because AI was doing all the fun work.
AI in programming also leads to deskilling and makes it less likely that junior programmers become as good as the current senior programmers. This might lead to a software quality crisis in the future. And in the meantime AIs will run dry of new high-quality learning material.
Free software licenses are based on copyright. These licenses are supposed to protect the freedoms of the end user (because that's the ethical thing to do). However, the situation with AI-generated output and copyright is far from clear: https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/supreme-court-denies-art... AI-contributions to software projects might be incompatible with the license of that project, because the contributor does not have the necessary rights to the contribution.

Not caring about ethics is selfish.
Very apt. These two things did really make the internet a lot worse. I would even add AI as the 4th wave, with all the captchas and slop we now need to deal with :-(
I think the barrier is much more a matter of awareness of how web sites can be created than actual technical limitations.
I think there are more details, but this is the gist of it. However, you need to manually verify that the LLMs produce Lean definitions that actually match your problem statement.
> beIN, a Qatari company with offices in France, previously sought to force Quad9 to block resolution for a set of domain names they assert are participating in copyright infringement of its audiovisual rights on sports event broadcasts.
This seems to be the relevant wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeIN_Channels_Network
While it is indeed 20 years ago, it should not be forgiven, if they continue to pull off shitty things like this lawsuit.
