As much as I'm avoiding GenAI myself⁰ I think your reaction is what feels a bit weird. You wouldn't be sending a tip for simply prompting the LLM, but for having the original idea and verifying/testing the result. If you don't feel right donating for that, then don't. Seeing a “buy me a coffee” link is hardly onerous, and it isn't exactly in-your-face here (I didn't notice at all until your comment mentioned it).

[0] I want to code, I like the nitty-gritty, and if I want to outsource I'd prefer to outsource to a human¹ than GenAI
[1] they might outsource to GenAI of course, that is their choice and as long as they properly verify the output before handing it on to me I shouldn't have to care
This is basically a lose-lose situation: extra bureaucracy for development projects that actually benefits the local residents (planning applications can get to thousands of pages long, and the whole process takes a really long time [0]), and local residents don't actually get the benefits intended by policies like this. The only people this benefits are those who have a lot of money to throw at things like this.
these videos are as close as we can get to plant electrodes directly in your brain's reward center, and repeatedly pressing the "reward" button. obviously not everyone is the same, but if it hits it hits hard.

Probably because a lot of it is built on top of decades old ruby code. I've seen Merge Requests for months in review because they need to make sure the page doesn't take a minute to load or just crash the entire thing. And its not like those MRs were ground breaking.
that ship has long sailed, "it no longer matters"
saying a codebase, an article was written with AI doesn't mean much, it could be good, it could be bad. folks often say it to generate outrage, but that means nothing. is the codebase great, good, bad, terrible? that's the only thing that matters.
Even as someone who uses a lot of AI, if you can't be bothered to at least give it a prompt like "Go through the documentation and comments in detail and remove any obvious AI shibboleths like emdashes, it's not x it's y, rule-of-three, 'delve', excessive grandiosity and flourishes, boldness, bullet points, etc", you should receive a brisk kick in the rear.
Not really but they jump right out at you after a few minutes chatting with it. I also asked the AI and it was pretty subjectively accurate, especially if you force it to cross reference with web searches and especially google's ngram corpus (you can readily see that 'delve' and some of the other rhetorical constructs are quite uncommon in human speech)
Might be the only thing that matters to you. And, perhaps, the only thing that matters in a functional sense. But, whether it’s human-coded/written or not matters deeply to some.
No, it's always bad. It's just on a spectrum of how competent is the viewer (you and me) to notice how bad it is. It's all shit, the question is whether you are skilled and experienced enough to tell.
