I keep being told I can not stop AI
I agree ‘I will not stop AI’ and I don’t exactly want to. Just give it some guard rails.
In a convo with other programmers, mostly web, a bit of a trivial response from me when told it did not need to steal my code ?
But if it did not need my code, then it would be able to generate the same on the asking, and it can’t, Yet. and I intend to keep it that way for as long as I can .
And still it does not ‘need it’. Unless someone is looking for it. Then no credit for my work.
I guess it depends on if you can generate unique specific coding or reworked trivial previously published code.
Just how do the courts deal with this ?
If AI was that smart, you would only need to give it the rules of the language and let it go.
But that is not how it works.
But it can do things for you much faster. That is not smart, just faster.
Those of you who monetize solutions will find anyone can do the same now. Value ? Demand ? Pay cut ? Cookie cutter solutions !
Make it while you can.
My first dive into AI in the 80’s (wasn’t called that then) was in voice recognition. And all of AI is based off the same thing. Fuzzy logic. And that does mean it is not always correct.
All AI has a internal stat called confidence level (error rating or other terms). And they are not telling you that number.
And it also fails to look at other factors like opening your code up for hack. Which, if you did not write it yourself, I doubt you will have any clue where you might be open or where to even look.
Will it then blame the source of the info it handed out ?
It’s going to use previously published examples. Only you don’t know which ones for they are not credited.
Once AI absorbs published data, it belongs to it. Pieces of this and pieces of that. Does it create anything new or a salad of others work ?
You could do the same thing. But you know who the authors are. Perhaps you trust some more than others ?
I find it funny, that one open source project I am lightly involved in has a few authors that come up with the new features and functions quite quickly. And every time they are submitted in the build, a bunch of other code goes haywire. Of course that is not web programming but microcomputer and hardware code (Extended DAQ basically in a synthetic radio env) but has web gui access.
Draw your own conclusions. But my conclusions were he did not build it or he would have known the issues as he went along. AI was not given the comprehensive parameters of what exactly was going on. So failure. Not interested in studying it, but sometimes it is obvious. And they make a bonus from requests for feature development by followers.
Google was totally free at one time… almost. What will you do when you forget how and they start charging a fee for access. All things to think about if you are young enough.
You don’t think GIT and other repo’s are the main grounds for AI shopping ? Better start thinking about protecting your own intellect.
You can donate your brain to the AI machine if you wish. While I love open source, I like to get paid for some things. Like others profiting with it.
Choices choices. Choose wisely.
