  • C ftw, but seriously, calling an entire language(python) AI slop is going too far, though I will admit python has been responsible for slop code even before LLMs. My opinion on the matter is, efficient use of LLMs will usher a push to go back to hardware level languages like C, as all the benefits of python(except the awesome collection of libraries it has unfortunately accumulated) are kind of moot when you have a machine capable of outputting any boilerplate you ask of it; beyond that I do not trust LLMs to write logic unless its a well known and named algorithm like reversing an array or a linked list.

    What is fully human written and how are you as a human(I assume) able to distinguish between what is laboriously typed and what is generated, here lets try this exercise and see if you can spot any difference Here is a code I have typed by hand

    "smash":
            push    rbp
            mov     rbp, rsp
            call    "smash"
            pop     rbp
            ret
    

    and here is machine generated code with the prompt, the slop machine used here is a compiler

    GCC take this C code void smash(){smash();} and make it executable and here is the output

    "smash":
            push    rbp
            mov     rbp, rsp
            call    "smash"
            nop
            pop     rbp
            ret
    
    spoiler

    please dont take this seriously

    My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

    You will be preserving it alright, but not progressing it in anyway; A blanket ban wont really solve anything, a more sophisticated system would be a pinned comment warning of AI use, which you should eventually rescind if the author proves they have not abandoned the project when their tokens ran out
