Yeah, that’s a great analogy, it turns idealistic developers into empty slop-wraiths :D

You can add AI allignment and questionable legal copyright status of produced code. :)

I’m no luddite, have used it (not quite voluntary) at work. Gotta say has its use use cases but I don’t think any of them are in FOSS right now. It seems hell bent on producing unmaintainable slop.

It would be fine for proofs of concepts and/or commercial code, where the time you get for tasks hardly ever is sufficient and most customers want a working solution and don’t care what’s under the hood. If there weren’t the 3 giant red flags of environmental impact, cognitive offloading and dependence on big tech.

So why the fuck would you even consider using it in a FREE and OPEN source project, if it’s none of those things?

Yes but your monkey was able to start your tractor that one time… And like, what if your neighbor starts using monkeys? He might harvest more than you. Besides, everyone will be using farming monkeys in the future, so better start letting them drive now. You wouldn’t like to be known as a monkey free farm, right?
