Nothing personal. I give the same welcome in similar situations

<div role="presentation" style="direction: ltr;">It becomes
increasingly standard to use AI for assisting when coding.
Which means it can hardly be stopped but I would rather
argue we need rules to make it work.</div>

I'm despaired by how people easily give up their free will.

this combination can even raise the quality.</div>

My experience is that reviewing code generate by coding assistants
make your brain lazy

<p>Well, you should have a look at

. This is still moving target but the current interpretation is
that code generated by machines isn't copyrighteable.</p>
<p>I see AI as an existential threat.</p>

My software is free, but my time generally not.
LLMs contribute to global warming and brain rot.
