The blog post that explains the background of the horrific Ocaml AI-written PR. Honestly... this feels like some post hoc rationalisation cope rather than a coming clean of an honest attempt to test something out.

I'm not convinced at all.

In short: an attempt at a mathematical proof as to why humans won't be replaced by LLMs any time soon.

Not sure I have the background to really follow all of this, and I'm not sure this is as reassuring as some might want it to be; but it's an interesting read. Finally I sense the "replacement" won't happen or fail to happen because of facts of the world, but because business will decide it's for the best and will cause things to collapse.

I've been thinking recently about AI/LLM-created PRs on GitHub. I've only received a couple, and they've not been great. This has got me wondering if I should entertain them at all from both a software development point of view, and also an ethical point of view.

This blog post is an interesting read for someone else's take on things.

"The recent innovations in the AI space, most notably those such as GPT-4, obviously have far-reaching implications for society, ranging from the utopian eliminating of drudgery, to the dystopian damage to the livelihood of artists in a capitalist society, to existential threats to humanity itself."

A rant that's pretty much about how money-grabbing idiots are slapping AI on any old shit. We all know who they are.
