You don’t need AI to autocomplete code. We’ve had autocomplete for over 30 years.

If you would have written it yourself the same way, why not write it yourself? (And there was autocomplete before the age of LLMs, anyway.) The big problems start with situations where it doesn't match what you would have written, but rather what somebody else **has** written, character by character.

To me, it starts at anything beyond correcting spelling for individual words or adding punctuation. I don't even want it suggesting quick reply phrases. > Is producing character by character what you would have wrote yourself slop? Yes.

There's the rub. When establishing laws and guidelines, every term must be explicitly defined. Lack of specificity in these definitions is where bad-faith actors hide their misdeeds by technically obeying the letter of the law due to its vagueness, while flagrantly violating its spirit. Its why today, in the USA, corporations are legally people when its convenient, and not when its not, and the expenditure of money is governments protected "free speech".

There is a certain brand of user (who may or may not be a human) who draws the venn of 'AI slop' and 'AI output' as a circle. They've taken the extremist position that AI should be uninvented and any use of AI is the worst thing that could possibly happen to any project and they'll have an entire grab bag of misinformation-based memes to shotgun at you. Engaging with these people is about as productive as trying to convince a vaccine denier that vaccines don't cause autism. I'm not saying that the user you replies to believes this, but the comment they wrote is indistinguishable from the comments of such a user. e: I'd also like to point out that these users are very much attracted to low-effort activism. This is why you see comments like mind being heavily downvoted but not many actual replies. They want to try to influence the discussion but don't have the capability or motivation to step into the ring, so to speak, and defend their opinions.
