OK, so let's say me and some friends started a tech company/consultancy that refused to use "AI", would this encourage you choose us over others?

@requiem I'm not in any position to hire a tech consultancy, but especially for open source projects I would require it so that the project doesn't get IP contaminated

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@requiem pretty obvious, isn't it? 🧠 #NoAI

[mage_of_chaos@mastodon.social]

@requiem

Yeah, that's kind of why I decided to stop making my own AI/bots.

Thatband the old roomates and chat rooms stealing my accounts to make scammer ones!

[jackeric@beige.party]

@requiem yes and can I come work for you

[jackeric@beige.party]

@requiem @SteveThompson it's a thought experiment not an actual pitch for funding steve

@Linux_in_a_Bit @requiem nbjs - no bullshit just software. (Apologies to Erik Aanderaa)

Thank-you to everyone who participated, I never thought so many people would respond and the results are a lot more lopsided than I expected.

I'm going to be writing a blog post about this soon with more details about what's next.

@requiem I might suggest the results here are selection bias

[timchaffee@ioc.exchange]

@requiem if you are thinking of a business plan to implement this I would wonder how many of the voters are in a position to approve a vendor and the $$$?
