Historically open source and closed source have done the same thing, so why is this one tool usage so wildly different?

Because, as noted by another replier, open source wants working code and closed source just want code that runs.

That’s basically my question. If the standards of code are different, AI slop may be acceptable in one scenario but unacceptable in another.

So I was trying to make a statement that the developers of AI for coding may not have the high bar for quality and optimization that closed source developers would have, then was told that the major market was internal business code.

So, I asked, do companies need code that runs quickly on the systems that they are installed on to perform their function. For instance, can an unqualified programmer use AI code to build an internal corporate system rather than have to pay for a more qualified programmer’s time either as an internal hire or producing.

Does business internal software need to be optimized?

As a dumb question from someone who doesn’t code, what if closed source organizations have different needs than open source projects?

Open source projects seem to hinge a lot more on incremental improvements and change only for the benefit of users. In contrast, closed source organizations seem to use code more to quickly develop a new product or change that justifies money. Maybe closed source organizations are more willing to accept slop code that is bad but can barely work versus open source which won’t?

The value isn’t as important and is more misleading.

You can create your own instance and give yourself as much karma as you want.

There are no internal Lemmy structures to prevent mass upvoting or downvoting.

Culture and voting rules across Lemmy are different and without a centralized authority.

Since the number is useless, it is made unavailable.

It depends on what you can do with the fill coming off the mountain.

By the mid 1800’s, chattel slavery was around in the USA for over 200 years. Even after slavery ended, an enforced caste system was put in place.

You would need the robots a lot earlier to prevent the slave trade.

“Honey, I’m flattered, but I don’t have the same feelings for you. Even if I did, it would be inappropriate for us to have a relationship. I hope you find someone else closer to your age.”

On the use side, a lot of users want an answer to their question, not a list of pages that may have the answer, with the answer made more obscure via SEO optimization. AI is just a continuation of this.
