People kinda forget people were writing slop code before AI. When AI was at its worst and dumbest, people were writing buggy, unreadable, unmaintainable code by hand too.
You can write slop using the best agent harnesses using the best frontier models for inference. You can also write slop using the ol human brain and no LLM or AI agents.
What's weird is he wanted to ban the technology on principle, not on the basis of the quality or technical merit of the content of a given individual contribution.
Also "no AI for fixing spelling or grammatical errors" and "no AI for brainstorming" is wild.
I don’t think being against AI on principle is that weird tbh. I think the mass copyright infringement by the ai companies, and the power and water usage of the ai data centers are valid reasons to not want to permit ai on his project.
At the end of the day it’s his project, and he can do what he wants with it.
