I think it’s important that people see these conversations. Not everyone is aware of the impact of LLMs and if it changes the mind of at least a person, this is not a wasted effort.

I don’t feel like OP is a robot with how its response are written, but we never know.

I said it in a previous comment: we are not here to debate LLM use.

You are right, but people want to know if you used LLMs or not because they might not want to use a project with LLM generated code.

Because LLMs are less ethical than humans, of course. :)

Ethics vary from person to person. We are in a programming community, so the focus is on code and not other subjects.

I am not brave enough to carry on my own shoulders the fight against the consequences of a world that has always run after “I need more”. I admit it

I understand the feeling and I do not blame people for using LLM but companies and corporations for pushing LLM down our throats. It could have been a nice tool, but now its effects are a net negative for the planet in the hope of capturing the market. But this isn’t the place to discuss that.

If we are talking ethics seriously, the browser you used to type these lines, the terminal, the text editor, the compiler, the PC, the phone, all of those raise much bigger ethical questions than an AWS services emulator that the audience here has not even tested. (Yes, that one is a bit of a troll.)

It doesn’t mean that using a LLM doesn’t have an impact because other factors have bigger impact. Every small decision we make has an impact in the long run, but this isn’t the community to discuss that.

I wasn’t the original OP you were responding to, but I felt compelled to give you a reason why people want to know about if a LLM is used or not because this is a hot topic and and I subject I feel strongly about.

I think that in the current context, presenting a project to the public like that will inevitably bring the question about LLM uses.

You have been open and concise about how Claude was used and from that point on, how people react to it is not in your control.

I appreciate that you responded thoroughly to my reply, even though it wasn’t needed.

People want to know about LLM use for various reason.

I think the main reason is an ethical one. LLMs use a lot energy, datacenters are bad for the environment, people lose their job due to AI, LLMs are trained on stolen data. There is many reasons why someone would not want an LLM project.

And let’s be real, there is a lot of issues with app being vibe coded and being shit real fast.

So when presenting a project to the world, people will definitely ask, and you can respond or not, and be on your way.

It’s naive to think that people won’t use LLMs, but it’s also naive to think that people only care about the end results, especially on a platform where people are generally more sensitive to ethical considerations.

Time to learn python or javascript. You will learn a real language and get away from a Microsoft product.

It’s an easy way for them to gain some reputation to monetize it later.

The issue is how you responded to people in this thread ("read the Readme.md) and when reading the readme, it’s a vague answer as to how AI is used. Gives off vibe-coded

Scope out how exactly AI used and you will get way less issues.

But being condescending and then being dismissive gets you this reaction. Own the fact that you used AI, scope out how exactly it is used and be on your way.

The readme concerning the LLM/AI is downright terrible. Which portion were generated with LLM? There is no scope for what the LLM is used, so can we assume that everything is vibe-coded at this point?
