I Dislike AI Programming

(This post was written quickly and not much effort was put into it, I kind of just wrote without much structure. I also don’t expect anyone to actually read this)

It’s not your code

I just don’t like it, but I don’t necessarily hate it. I’m gonna jump to my point, the reason why I am making this post. Lots of people believe that if you give an AI instructions, and have it program something, it makes you the one who wrote that code… No, just no, that’s wrong. The AI is the one who wrote that code, not you. If anyone submits any code to me saying that they wrote it when really an AI was the one that wrote it, I’ll ban you from my repos.

I am not going to even get into the copyright issues that exist.

I don’t even think I’m going to allow AI in my repos unless it’s really really small, like a small function. I DO think using AI as a little assistant is okay, if you ask it how to do something that’s fine, but having it actually write the code for you, and then claiming it as your own, is just wrong.

Maybe I should add a CONTRIBUTING.md file to any public repo I expect people to maybe contribute to, saying that AI generated code is not prohibited, but I don’t really have people contributing to my projects

Despite all this, in a VM, I have actually messed around with it, and it’s interesting, but I’d never use it for any of my actual projects.

You’re not a real programmer if a decent chunk of “your” code is written by AI.

I also hate “web dev”, so maybe I should write a post about that too.

MCP will always be Mod Coder Pack in my heart (Mod Coder Pack is stuff for Minecraft modding)
