My prophecy is that in 3 years we'll see a complete reversal of this. Using GenAI to code will be the default and we'll see policies that put limits on human/artisan development. Possibly even projects that outright ban non-LLM development.
I think history agrees too, i.e. machine code > assembly language > high-level programming language > prompts.

Is anyone using even a tiny on-device language model for spelling? For grammar, I could almost imagine it. But this also bans "simple" AI-powered auto-complete, like Zed's Zeta2 model. This is a very conservative model that rarely tries to propose more than a few obvious lines (at least in my use cases). If a developer accepts a three-line autocomplete that introduces a bug, that's kind of on them. Honestly, about th…
The is not exactly my point. I am speaking of spelling/grammar checkers are part of the IDE and/or OS. You'd have to know your IDE and/or OS's implementation details to know you are not using an LLM based one.
LSPs vs LLM Autocomplete are a different story, but I can just turn that off.
While I understand the caution, the current policy seems too draconian. It states in part: > Until that policy is in place, the Governing Board has approved this interim policy: > Contributions in the OpenJDK Community must not include content generated, in part or in full, by large language models... Note, this would exclude most spell checkers, as they often are LLM based. That said, they do soften this with the ad…

My point is you might be when you wrote your comment or I might be in writing this comment. However, I don't know if I am as I haven't seen, and will likely never see, the implementation behind the text box that is suggesting the next letter, word, or spelling correction as I type.

At this point, I wouldn't be too surprised if LLMs just get better at "write understandable, maintainable code" than most developers are. For now, LLMs are still bad at it, but they're already at "competitive with humans" tier of bad. I expect them to get better.
They already are better than most humans at writing code for sure but even the best SOTA model is worse than your average intern at memorization.
How do you enforce this?
Or like in the case of checking that free range eggs are in fact free range eggs.
Or like in the case of Steam demanding AI disclosure, to the dismay of Tim Sweeney ...
Let's hope the dismay increases over time.

I don't think they ever will on the "maintainable" part until their absolutely atrocious memory gets improved at least tenfold. (and no, the tricks we deployed until now aren't enough) They already are better than most humans at writing code for sure but even the best SOTA model is worse than your average intern at memorization.
Someone with "memory" should be able to do the same faster, but having that memory should not be a requirement.
Whether that "someone" is a freshly onboarded mid-level SWE or a mid-tier coding LLM is largely irrelevant.
