There seems to be a LOT of bbs people using ai to make things. And
they don't give credit to AI. Just by the interfaces and graphics I
can tell it's AI.
I think it should just be assumed (and really, not judged) that AI is going to be used by anyone serious about development. It's like saying "I used a computer to make this", well, yeah, that's assumed. You used the Internet, an editor (maybe), a compiler, library manager, linker, build/project manager, etc. as well. Just add AI to the list. I don't think disclaimers are needed.

ah, so now anyone who doesn't use AI isn't taking things seriously?
you're full of bad takes regarding AI. did you get in on some nvidia/amd/etc stock early?

with ai you could be getting plagarized information, and in some cases perhaps It would violate the licensing of the old product or yours.
With human co-contributors you can get plagarized information too. Just assume AI is going to be used more often than not. And if AI isn't being used (at all? Not even for code review or testing?) - then I wouldn't think the project is very serious.

We people out are fighting the ethical battle, and someone just randomly throws that "unless AI used, package is not serious".
Ignorance is definitely a BLISS!
You're welcome to your opinion, but it's no more informed than mine, I assure you. In the professional software development world, agentic development is here and it's only increasing in adoption and impact.

"Using AI" doesn't mean it does the entire thing for you. You can have AI write
bits here and there that you incorporate into the final product. Does that still make it the AI's OS?

So I thin kthere is a big difference between using a computer that you have to master to get something done, and having an AI one-shit^H^H--erm--ot it for you, then taking credit and money for it.
You're talking about AI as if it's human, <sigh>, AI is just a tool, it's not a living organic being, maybe you indulge a bit to much in SciFi movies?
ah, so now anyone who doesn't use AI isn't taking things seriously?
In the realm of software development (and I imagine many other realms), yes. At the last 3 firms I've worked, if a software developer ("engineer") wouldn't use AI tools, they were gone.
I totally disagree to this statement. My research group goes out of the way to explicitly produce scripts and codes without the use of AI for ethical usage.

What isn't useful, and what is bad, is using AI inseta... instead of one's brain. AI is great for learning programming. But if you use AI to vibe code everything, you don't learn much. And the result isn't trustworthy. Who has audieted the code? Nobody. "AI will audit it". It's a ^H^H^H not good enough imo.
If p^H I posted an AI generated paintaing and said "Here's my painting, what do you think?" It would be kind of deceptio^H ^Hve or delusional. IT's not my painting. IT's the AI's painting.

Plagiarism in software engineering isn't much of a concern, because there's only so many ways you can write a function. In the end it's all about how you put those functions together. For decades people have been copy/pasting code snippits off of places like Stackoverflow into their own programs, this isn't much different.

Nothing wrong with SciFi unless you believe it's 100% real.
as Spock would say "it's not logical".
I have not really noticed anyone taking 100% credit for something they used AI on. I feel like DM and most others I am aware of have been pretty open about how they are using AI. I have even asked a couple of the BBS developers that I know use AI for advice as to how helpful it was to them.

For software developers, I agree. But for people who aren't software developers (who haven't learned that skill and aren't software developers as their primary job function), I can see vibe coding as a way to help develop things for them.
Software developers already tend to Google things fairly often, and look on sites like stackoverflow.com and others for advice and examples of how to accomplish tasks in software development. I don't think it's really that much different to use an AI tool to help.

Sorry, but it's completely different. As someone who has spent considerable time on SO and using AI, there's no comparison. AI is a coding companion. Furthermore, SO can't vibe code you a whole app.

AI is a tool that will vibe code you an OS. Your vibe code isn't yours. It's the AI's. SciFi has nothing to do with it.

I'm not necessarily talking about vibe coding a whole app. What I meant is, using an AI coding tool makes it easier to do what software developers have already been doing: Searching for answers & examples online for how to develop & code something and applying that to their solution. An AI development tool can come up with something you ask for and apply it directly to your code/project.
Soe here are talking as if AI human, AI is a tool, If someone write code, or a little program, then Uses AI to help clean the code up, that does not belong to AI, one should be honest tho and say AI was used to help write the code, but it does not belong to AI.
Some people are acting as though AI is an entity.
Nuff said.

No you are still missing the point. No one is claiming AI is human or even sentient... just that AI is creating code that people (who otherwise maybe cannot code) are presenting as their own. Search on "Shadow AI" for details on how this can cause trouble.

No, not missing the point, I even quoted the example in an earlier post. The people that are saying code made with the help of AI belongs to AI.

Although AI tools are trained with existing data, I still wonder about ethical usage.
Nightfox wrote to Hisacro <=-
Another thing about the ethical angle: In my experience, companies want their employees to be using AI tools to increase productivity. Time is money, so if you're not using all the tools available to make you as productive as possible (thus, making the employer spend more money via your salary to get a project done), I think that could be seen as not ethical from the company's standpoint.

yeah i think AI is here to stay ... unfortunately i think its just a reality that we all have to get used to .
time to find answers to things quicker when i get stumped ... i dont
like admitting it but hey it is a handy tool to have in the pocket !
