If they're just using it to find and patch bugs/exploits? Fine by me.
Vibe coding? Get the fuck outta here.
If Vibe coding means people who don't know how to code creating code... yeah, that's kind of like giving people who don't know how to paint an airless gun and 5 gallon bucket and telling 'em to go for it on this building here...
Even people who can code tend get worse over time the more and more they rely on "AI" to avoid having to think too hard.
Studies have shown doctors who rely heavily on "AI" are similarly affected.
People who rely too heavily on anything get brain atrophy with net negative consequence.
Those same tools can be used for learning and exploration and strengthening skills - all a matter of how they're used.
This is the key point.
From my reading that is not the limit in how they are using AI. It seems like they are accepting LLM generated code as inputs.
This pretty much compromises the whole project as far as I am concerned.
Based on my understanding, the "core" team uses AI to detect vulnerabilities.
They also take codes from paid third party devs, and they say they don't mind how they wrote the code, but it must be clear and each contributor needs to be able to explain it.
They follow the same rules on code conventions including readability. So basically, it's less that they accept it than they don't care as long as it matches their quality expectations. If you can't tell, you can't ban...
Considering Graphene's entire reputation is staked on extremely precise definitions of security, this is a little concerning.
They're the "best" (read: most secure) mobile operating system. If the best degrades, I don't foresee some Graphene alternative stepping up very quickly (see also: cross-platform alternatives to Google-made Chromium and Google-funded Gecko)
is the linux kernel "the best"? because they are using AI tooling. Linus actually threatened to use LLM to maintain sparse if nobody stepped up..
is curl the best? because the creator of curl has also used/accepted LLM code...
if the creators of two of "the best" pieces of software ever made are accepting (NOT embracing or promoting... just accepting) LLM code.... maybe it's time for us to think about the possibility that this MIGHT be a useful tool instead of everyone just yelling "SLOP SLOP SLOP" everywhere.......
People trusted Linux to be better than Microsoft Windows, and saw the effect of a company with tons of money and first-class AI access exponentially worsening their product.
It has been disappointing to see people like Linus Torvalds turn aggressive against people who do not agree with his ideology, and I find it distasteful for you to use reductive attacks against strawmen as well.
Someone commented on here the other day that they don't use anything that uses AI. I had to point out that they were on Lemmy, in a contemporary web browser, connecting to a Linux server running inside of a docker container. I'm still not sure if they understood my point, but I'm glad someone else on here is seeing the ripple effect.
If it's thoroughly vetted, it might still be OK, but it's concerning...
