alt Hacker NewsI am curious to understand why you are disappointed.
I used A.I to write code on a personal project. It allowed me to go much faster than if I had tried by hand. Given my time constraints, it is likely I would have never found the time to complete this project.
The article was entirely written by me without A.I.
Please, help me to understand.
The articles you publish are, in principle, a celebration of the cleverness in programming and hardware design behind video games; a vehicle for appreciating human craftsmanship and artistry.
LLMs are the product of taking the creative output of countless millions of people and turning it into a statistical model which completely erases the attribution for all that material. They can regurgitate interpolated, plagiarized copies of someone else's code, divorced from its original context, but they are structurally incapable of showing where that code came from, who wrote it, or why.
Using these tools, and using your public profile to contribute to the normalization of these tools, is profoundly disrespectful to the programmers, artists, and writers whose work was strip-mined by megacorporations to build those LLMs. You are prioritizing your personal convenience while enriching bad actors who are bent on obliterating the open web, open-source culture, and the craft of programming. It's dissonant.
