@baralheia Don't you have uncertainties with a lot of other factors, too? How can you know a developer didn't just copy-paste code from StackOverflow? Or that they spent a lot of thought on solving the issue instead of going with the first solution that crossed their mind? Or that their ability to program wasn't hampered by something bad happening in their life? What if GitHub kicked them off the platform all of a sudden? What if there's an oversight like github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671 ? There's always uncertainty.
My general approach to using software and platforms is to think about the worst realistic scenario that could happen and how badly I would be affected so I can be prepared for it.
I was talking about Zed today and people raised concerns because the developers probably use AI. Right now, it's a significant improvement over VSCode. The worst realistic scenario would be a drop in quality so bad I'd have to stop using the editor again. Maybe some destroyed files if we want to be really pessimistic. How bad would that be for me? Actually not much. My projects are backed up with git, there are backups of my system, and I can switch editors at any time. So I don't care a single bit if they use AI until there are actual manifestations of its bad effects.
