They got caught doing this over a decade ago as well.
On the plus side pixelfed seems to be popping off. And every time one of the big companies f up, we get a slow trickle of new users. Which is much more sustainable in the long run.
It has its uses. For templeting and/or getting a small project off the ground its useful. It can get you 90% of the way there.
But the meme is SOOO correct. AI does not understand what it is doing, even with context. The things JR devs are giving me really make me laugh. I legit asked why they were throwing a very old version of react on the front end of a new project and they stated they “just did what chatgpt told them” and that it “works”. Thats just last month or so.
The AI that is out there is all based on old posts and isnt keeping up with new stuff. So you get a lot of the same-ish looking projects that have some very strange/old decisions to get around limitations that no longer exist.
You can put fail2ban to look for specific keywords and ban them if they keep trying. I did that a while back and my servers are in a much better spot. IP black/block lists also help.
Thanks everyone!
And Blaze.
Openstreetmaps is an awesome setup just saying ;)
Man I used to love Ubuntu. Then snaps…and it broke a lot of things. Now I’m on other oses. But I appreciate what they did to the Debian flavors of distos.
Im looking forward in the next 2 years when AI apps are in the wild and I get to fix them lol.
As a SR dev, the wheel just keeps turning.
I used to work with COBOL. The language isn’t terrible, it’s the 40+ years of no context changes that suck. It even works with SQL… although the most common configuration is using a flat file.
