I've been making an android launcher, similar to the smart launcher but free and open source

one of the few apps not FOSS on my degoogled phone, thought it was time to fix that

the llm writing is so annoying

have you tried using AI generated code in a non hobby project? one that has to go to production?

it just allucinates packages, adds random functions that already exist, creates new random APIs.

How is that not unmantainable?

what code do you write that you don't need to mantain/read again later?

I had automation setup for anything I needed for work, gen AI made me feel like I had to babysit a dumb junior developer so I lost interest

Managment uses it to make mock websites then doesn't listen when we point out flows, so nothing new there

Some in digital marketing are using it for data collection/anlysis, but it reaches wrong conclusions 50% of the time (their words) so they are slowly dropping it and using it for meneal tasks and simple automations

In design we had a trial period but has the same issue as coding: either it makes something a senior designer could have made in 2 minutes or it introduces errors that take a long time to fix, to then do it again the next prompt

we are a senior dev team, although relative small, and to me it seems like it only really works as a subsitute for junior devs... but the point of junior devs is to grow someone into a senior with the knowledge you need in the company so i don't really get the usecase overall

removing social media and focusing on the good parts of the internet is the best approach (and was even before AI trend)

you don't need social media, everybody as excuses as to why they're there, but none of them are real

self hosting saved most of the internet for me, from jellyfin for movies TV shows and movies to piped for YouTube

Degoogling and removing big tech from your life also helps a lot, changing from gmail to protonmail was a small change from the outside but it made how I interact with account creation and handling of my data so much more enjoyable

so I dont personally feel this way, but I dont engange with any part of the internet terrorized by AI (and human) slop
