 K900 | In a lot of places it's just objectively wrong not even on Nix things | 13:44:34 |
| K900 | But general Python/Linux understanding | 13:44:48 |
 Preston | As a suggestion, I would probably integrate some form of the NixOS wiki or some other tutorial or learning tool in your generator. Most people in this room and the NixOS community in general are probably going to have similar opinions on GenAI with regards to nix; and most people are not trying to discourage you either, we just haven’t seen good nix code come from GenAI due to the scope of NixOS catering to a wide population of users | 13:46:27 |
| K900 | I have never seen good code come from GenAI full stop | 13:46:51 |
| Preston | I seen a good Hello World lol | 13:47:18 |
 Austin Horstman | Sure you have, you just don't know it because it wasn't bad. | 13:47:22 |
| K900 | I'm sure I've seen good code that was initially generated by an LLM, but then audited and cleaned up by a human | 13:48:04 |
| K900 | I'm talking specifically about raw, "vibe coded", if you will, LLM output | 13:48:16 |

This is mainly my opinion of what I’ve seen generally | 13:48:21 |
 redbeardymcgee | AI: I'm the idiot so you can feel smart correcting me, even though you're also wrong. | 13:49:21 |
