@KitsuneofInari how do they detect LLM generated code?
-
@Li @KitsuneofInari Also, the fun part of writing software is thinking, coding, testing, seeing people use it...
Doing code-review, not so much. That's what you do to help other people to level up.
But with LLM-generated code, where are the people you want to mentor?
But you still have to code-review the swill.
@halla @Li @KitsuneofInari This is tantamount to saying don’t use tools, or libraries, or graphics cards, if you don’t review their code. I can’t agree with this sentiment. The real issue is the broken trust and overreach of agentic tools.
Should I ditch the Wacom and pick up a papyrus roll and feather quill instead because I don’t review the Krita source code or my tablet’s circuits? No, I trust the authors and their community.
So the question in my mind is: in what skilled hands, with which LLM, and to what extent, does it fall within the boundaries of acceptable use?

@loleg @halla @KitsuneofInari i dont consider LLMs to be tools at all

@Li @halla @KitsuneofInari fine, they’re not tools, they’re stamps.

@halla @Li @KitsuneofInari I completely respect the decision of the maintainers, and think it’s better to have a clear policy than let the debate stew and simmer. Given the user base and sentiment against the GenAI topic, it’s possibly even the right move.
I just want to see an even better justification, like: we don’t add code, we tactically remove it. Our code base is a sculpture, and LLMs aren’t much help here.
Or even: as you kind of wrote above, Krita is an expression of the joy of art through the joy of coding. We aren’t feeling the vibes when you PR us your lobster soup, but feel free to make your own painting program from scratch. Call it Pincha, if you want!

@KitsuneofInari im not sure id say that understanding of code is a boolean function of just either fully understanding everything including any and all bugs that could ever arise, and not understanding it at all, but rather a variable level of some understanding,
@Li @KitsuneofInari I think the main issue is not the code you design and write, but that its interacting with code and users you don't fully know. Often requirements or the assumptions behind the code you change or the code you interact with are not documented. Often users don't tell you what they really want. Or don't know that a small action they don't tell you in the error report is the key to understand the bug.
Good software developers are not nerds or code monkeys, but good mentalists.

@KitsuneofInari That’s a really eloquent way to describe my issue with “as long as you understand the code” argument.
That never mattered.
I won’t merge code written entirely by human just because they understand it. Because what matters is whether after an isekai accident someone new will be able to work with it.

@KitsuneofInari KDE developers try not be based challenge, literally impossible.

@mischievoustomato @KitsuneofInari or it might end up like windows 11 that takes a whole second to render the fucking right click context menu lmao

@KitsuneofInari ...and removes copyright from the rest of the code unless it is explicitly marked as LLM generated.

"Some may say, as long as the contributor understands the code it's fine, but that's a fallacy. No programmer really fully understands the code they are working with."

@KitsuneofInari I mean, those are pretty strong reasons

@KitsuneofInari I totally agree! Hold the line!

Policy on LLM code?
Hi, what’s the policy on LLM-generated code when making MRs? I ask because I thought I would ask chatGPT to implement Mixer Brush in Krita, and, having spent a few days going back and forth with it, to my surprise, I se…
