That’s a very fair point. I would counter-argue that given the direction that software (and design, and writing…) has taken, even before the machine generated slop, it is unclear to me whether or not there is/will be a real incentive to properly fix things. But I know I am naturally quite pessimistic, so I hope you are right.
If such rewrites netted a similar fee to traditional content writing jobs, it would be one thing — but as Richardson noted, companies pay less for cleaning up AI copy because they presume it’s easier and less time-consuming, when it fact it often requires as much mental labor as content she had written herself.
Yeah so, they used the earth-burning slop generators, fired people over it, and now rehire cheaper to fix their hot mess (which sounds like one of the most futile and infuriating task one could do). Does not sound like as much of a win as the title would lead you to believe.
Speaking as a dev, I cannot wait for my job to be fixing inane machine slop code with half the pay, sounds like a real treat.
Sure, let’s give AI bros even more power, and monetary incentive to automatically reject as many health claims as possible, what could go wrong?
I do hold my breath whenever I see nvidia-dkms in the list of pacman updates. It’s good to get some thrills, just to feel alive.
A new Linux user posting an anti Linux meme on a Linux community, on Lemmy. Well, I wish I had a tenth of your courage.
I do hope they go easy on you, brave soul.

Oh yeah, I am forced to use it for work and it’s just incredible how innovative Microsoft is at making things worse. Takes real talent at that point.
This below is windows 11 consistency, within their own os context menus. I am not even starting on the fact that window decorations there too are a non standardised mess.
I agree that lack of UI consistency is less than ideal, and very real in Linux, but let’s not pretend that this is the main issue stopping people from migrating (from an equally inconsistent OS)
I don’t judge anyone making whatever choice they have to make to survive, especially wrt using AI given how it’s shoved down everyone’s throat.
I do have little patience for someone who comes all guns blazing, calling someone an idiot over that very fact, and dares talk about empathy after belittling the OPs “liwwle feelings”.
I have zero patience for the actually rich people who force that shit on us and would love not to see stupid infighting between people who suffer and are alienated from it.
This is pretty much what my initial, admittedly too snarky, response meant. Now either you’re trolling or this is, for whatever reason, a sensitive subject for you. In both cases I don’t see the point of discussing that further and apologies if I hurt you.
Doing alright, thanks for your concern.
Better to be an idiot than management’s yappy lapdog.
Congratulations on making and shipping a game on your own. That’s really fucking impressive.
The game looks very cool, I’ll definitely try the demo later!
