I think one concrete thing is writing a comment about a function, then expecting that function below the comment, but instead you get more comments.

#22I have a simple question. If censorship is considered evil regarding the written word and communications between humans, why do we want to then censor LLMs differently? It is either counterintuitive or simply a false concept we should abandon. Perhaps it is more about training, similar to how children are 'monsters' and need to be socialized/tamed.

#23On a slightly related note, does anyone feel copilot is not as powerful as it used to be? It's kind of hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, but it feels like it often either does nothing, or generates the bare minimum.

#27I wonder if one can sneak in words into code to avoid public code to be used for training AI. Perhaps just a tiny little nazi reference.
I was reading someone the other day (it might have been on HN) saying they use this strategy to prevent candidates from using LLMs in interviews. E.g. a system design interview question about building an app to manage all your drug shipments and nuclear bombs.

#28Not to mention, there’s apparently some research saying code with swear words has higher quality, so if AI causes some decline there, we now know why it is https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/110mj6p/open_s...

Oh it's certainly not by many people. It's fine with them if you are censoring what they don't like.
It took me a long time to realize the "free speech" advocates of the 60s-80s were long gone from the left.
