From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other's code as they do writing their own. It doesn't mater if that "other's code" is AI generated or not.
There's an argument to be made about excessive vs not-enough commenting, but that's not where you went, and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.
One wonders how many books you've read, to be pretending that reading a book without paying for it, even borrowing from a library, is theft. Stick with the environmental costs arguments - its what you are personally suited to argue, and far more urgent than the rest.
And how is this an argument in favor of AI code? If 5-10 percent of you job used to be writing code and now you dropped it by half, that's not very effective of optimization. Especially if the code you now have to review takes more time to review due to it being generated by AI.
As someone with several years of experience as a programmer: fuck off with this elitist nonsense
Lol. Way to show how little you know. I swear AI bros get the most butt hurt over provable stuff.
I've stated my experience elsewhere but I'm a senior software engineer, 20 something years of experience. I have actually created a neural network from the ground up for a previous company. But sure, go off about how little experience I have.
