Almost all developers are using AI to some degree from what I can tell, I end up having to tag most posts on my emulation community as “AI Assisted” after wasting my own free time looking through repositories for open source software and I still miss things because I’m not a developer myself. Disclosure is hit and miss. Some devs even actively try to hide it. No doubt the few other contributors miss things as well. On top of that Lemmy still doesn’t support tags like Pylova/Piefed do. What a fucking mess.

It’s getting to the point where I’m considering removing that tag and replacing it with “Human Coded” or “AI Free” because that’s becoming the exception instead. Currently I think that makes more sense and promotes attention to the exceptional tag, instead of everyone getting complacent and beginning to just ignore the tags because almost everything will end up having Anti AI tagging. It’s just natural human behavior to start filtering out redundant noise. Have not committed yet, I can be discouraged or encouraged on this strategy here.

100% vibe slop (pure agentic programming) by non-programmers is remaining banned to be clear. That’s easy to spot at least. The reddit community allows it, it’s like wading through sewege looking for gold nuggets and then learning half of what you found is Fool’s Gold instead.

It’s also adding a lot of homework to a voluntary effort running the community I didn’t ask for or anticipate when I started it.

It’d be nice if I could share these thoughts without risking zealots on either side downvoting me but I also anticipate that which is rather unfair. I’m just trying to navigate a new reality, it’s not locked in yet. That’s… why I’m here 😆.

Yea I agree with this
