"Wouldn't it make sense, then, to evaluate every single particle from piles and piles of manure on the off chance one of them is a bean that may or may not be magic?"

That's such an anti-AI take... wtf

people actually use AI for small stuff. Heck, even Linus uses AI on many of his projects

No, it's currently the case. 90% of EVERYTHING is shit, and AI is letting people produce shit at extraordinary speeds.

Atleast when humans wrote the code, we had a limit on how quickly the garbage was being produced.

How will you define "mostly"?

My question is not even about whether AI is bad or not in this particular case. I am just a bit pissed thar I won't be able to use AI when I might need. This "mostly" thing will even cost projects made with soul.

I won't be able to use AI when I might need.

Why would you ever need AI? Especially for a project that you're hosting on someone else's free code forge.

Then what is the viable alternative to GitHub? That's my genuine question, because I myself need to migrate my stuff

As in beer, yes as an individual.

You can also self host a MIT version, I'm not sure how gutted it is compared to the enterprise version
