Have you ever found a GitHub project or anything that seemed nice and tempting to install until you dug a bit deeper?

What are some red flags that should detur anyone from installing and running something?

Points per sprint, features shipped, test coverage. Defects remain unchanged.

Code quality? Maintainability down the line? Numbers for those aspects yet?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's been more than 3 years since we started, and the metrics are stable, slight improvement even but that could be more experience or better models or anything. No apocalypse.

Happy that it's working out for at least a small margin of people. 👍

There's always the many ethical aspects as well, of course.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The ethics are debatable, but there's not turning back, there's plenty of open source models even that do a very decent job, so we will need to learn to deal with the reality. We never hired juniors anyway, but companies that did apparently have stopped, that can't be good.

In my opinion, the ethics are clear problems. There are way too many ethical issues for me to even consider using AI right now. I would never have a clear conscience using AI. Using AI as a service responsibly is impossible right now IMO.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't see it that bad. Specially open source models. Agree to disagree I guess.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Open source models aren't really used in AI as a service though, are they?
