GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you're coming from or why you're so incredibly angry with us. It's not justified and does not make sense.

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.
