Hm. I failed. I truly wanted to find some bits that we agree that those LLMs can help us with. With notable exceptions this thread is all about not using them. I admit to find that a bit too easy. And that is since also after reading through all your emails I am still quite confident that those LLMs can help making each of us better - yes, everyone! And if we become better then so should our contributions.
I am not saying that each of us should use the same tools equally, or that we all should work on the same set of problems. And also, the more advanced bits of those LLMs cost money. But get the help you can. And yes, please understand what you are ending up with or openly state that you are not but that you are onto something for which you need help by some fellow humans. Something I yet have no answer for is that we lack the capacity to review everything in the level of detail that a potential killing machine like a CNC-whatever deserves. I mean - we cannot just let some robot program the code that controls robots, right? Still, and if it is only for educating ourselves on the code base of LinuxCNC, I consider contributions "mostly harmless" (The good ole Hitchhiker's Guide - it is what we all read at the time, his "electric monk" may be more appropriate in this context, though) on * automated testing * introductions to how the code works (on the level of the diagrams being created - just roughly, but with pointers to source files) * finding semantic problems in the code, like incomplete error handling, preconditions for functions not guaranteed Best, Steffen _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
