I consider aetheism to be more an absence of belief in gods.
Its not that i believe there arent gods. Its that i have no belief in gods.
The former being anti-god/anti-religion. And the later being anti-belief.
Maybe like “not accidentally cutting yourself” and “not having a knife”. Both lead to “not accidentally cutting yourself”, but 1 involves a knife.
There are issues with AI involving licensing and peoples IP and crediting sources and all that.
It has also massively reduced the barrier of entry for both finding and patching bugs, and producing realistic looking bug reports.
My biggest issue (other than enviromental and social impacts) is the load it puts on developers. They pretty much HAVE to use LLMs to triage and test bug reports… because it takes very little skill to use an LLM to “deep dive this area of the linux kernel and find a bug or RCE/CVE”, and the LLM probably will. But the unskilled user might not understand what the exploit/bug actually is. But they get some sort of POC and some sort of write up, and then they dump it on someone elses plate.
If that bug is actually patched/impossible because of something outside of the scope/context that the LLM used, or if its only a bug because of bad config… yeh, its a bug, but it isnt an important one. And it eats up developer resources to confirm/triage/fix that bug.
Also, LLMs are an averaging engine. They work on “most likely” probability evaluations. So, you get average code.
There has to be a human in the loop
