    So now sabotaging people’s work because you don’t like how they do it passes the social media ethical purity test? Ok then.

        No. Copypasting pieces of existing code has been standard practice for human programmers since the beginning of programming. Deciding to call it “plagiarism” because it’s been automated is just ignorant.

          When you copy/paste a piece of code and somebody asks you “Hey this code is pretty awesome how did you write it?”, you usually say “No I didn’t write it, I just grabbed it from a site.”

          Vibe coders on the other hand will actively tell you that they wrote it themselves when they actually used an AI. THAT is the difference.

            The one vibe coder I know actively talks about specific things he has it do and how much time it saves him.

        Yes, work done by people using AI as a tool. They’re people and he’s sabotaging their work. Yaaay! Fuck somebody up for using power tools instead of hand tools! The mob says it’s the devil’s work! Grab the pitchforks!!!

          If they are commiting code they don’t understand, this is but one of the issues they are going to get hit by. They can’t blame the AI, the buck stops with them.

            I agree that committing code without checking it is sloppy work. But that doesn’t excuse fucking with somebody’s work.

          Except that in this case it wasn’t been used as a power tool, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to do anything without someone getting it to. It’s more akin to someone leaving a power tool lying around with a more saying “use this as you like” and then didn’t like that somone took down their garden shed with it.

            As a software developer I have never heard of anybody saying, “polllute my code as you like”. It’s mind-boggling how people will excuse ANY behavior that attacks AI or people who use it. Anything a fellow AI-hater does must be right. Our Cause Uber Alles!

              If you have an AI agent that you’ve given away your agency to to make calls like dropping databases or wrecking your code then you kinda did though. Perhaps you didn’t knowingly introduce these gaping security holes, fool me once shame on you and all that. Are you going to change your security posture and limit the LLMs access and reduce how much you let it do your home work for you now? Otherwise it’s on you next time it fucks up.
