In the words of Admiral Ackbar, "It's a trap".
Any apparent short term gain is really a prescription for long term pain.
Ignore what AI fanboys say and instead look at what they do.

These are just some of the bigger guys that are either raising seed funding or already well-established... I can't imagine all the small and obscure teams that are chasing the same thing.

A lot of these guys have marketshare already and are weaving AI surgically through the stack, which is how people should be building. These aren't AI wrapper companies... these are companies that are leveraging AI to amplify their existing products.
I am not sure why it's so hard for people to assume the semantical analysis that AI offers can't be leveraged properly inside of a product.
Take this one post, and then extrapolate similar products across all verticals... that is currently the waters that are being tested. Law, healthcare, construction, etc - there all getting pressure tested for similar AI integrations.
I don’t have any issue with intentional debt when you understand the trade-off and have a clear payoff plan.
Yes.
Whether any gain is worth the pain is left as an exercise for the user.
The article also goes on to compare the JDK teams policy to GraalVM, also in Oracle which is more similar to the Linux kernel policy, where AI submissions are allowed, but the human submitter is accountable to them, which is reasonable too.
It's not unreasonable, in my opinion, for the JDK team to limit AI contributions based on their stated priorities, just like how other teams might not require those same restrictions.
And now that code is being watermarked by AI, suddenly they’re artists, painstakingly prompting, crafting, to get just the right code; the watermark is unethical even!
AI psychosis is real, and even some of the smartest people I know how succumbed to it.
