As long as AI doesn't become the standard way of correcting a bug or coding Linux shit then it's whatever. If they end up as bad as Microslop, then we're gonna have to make hardened rules around the Distros that can and can not have AI, fixing issues.
I mean.... I'm not gonna lie on the flipped coin of that sentiment, I would love to see a Linux OS built entirely by Ai.
It's kind of like fuck Ai taking over the movie industry but I would love to see a documentary about the AI pasta eating evolution of will smith but created with AI.
Ugh all the set dec concept art is fucking AI generated on the movie I'm working on right now and it makes me want to gag listening to them wonder if there's a ethnically diverse trained model so they can claim all the Mexican gangs they're generating aren't racist.
