This makes sense in the short term, but we really need the industry as a whole to learn how to code with AI in a safe sustainable way. Open Source has a particular problem of taking a really long time to make changes, fix bugs, etc. A lot of design decisions are due to "we don't have time for this". AI can speed those things up and drastically increase the utility we can get out of open source. We just need to figure out how to do it without creating a mess.
It's a bad tool how? In that it doesn't automatically do everything perfectly from a 0-shot prompt?
We don't have to do anything. We could continue with the status quo and all the problems that entails. Or we could embrace progress and try to use technology to make our lives easier and better.
