This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.
Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?
I’d run for the hills
There are so many issues with AI
Like ppl thinking skilled engineers cannot vet AI output. AI is pretty good for programming.
You’re absolutely right, and the vast majority of people on this platform seem to get offended by anything AI related. Software engineers have been reviewing code made by other people since the dawn of the craft. Guess what y’all, AI generated code looks exactly the same, if not better on the first pass at creating a thing.
Down vote me all you want homies. You’re living in a fantasy if you think all AI is slop. Sure, I can see how it’s ruining some content on the Internet, but for code related tasks, its going to dramatically change the world for the better.
I think you would need to first make the case that software is making the world a better place. So far, it’s got a spotty record…
The same thing happened to music when GarageBand and similar tools lowered the effort required to produce quality tracks. It took power away from the old gatekeepers and gave it to people with ideas but not traditional access. AI is doing that to software now.
