Common Lisp with no AI (that's ironic I suppose)

Hi SBCL, As someone just getting back into using Lisp I find it a bit sad to see the AI "slop" or whatever you would like to call it apparently being accepted. I don't contribute any code so its not up to me but I can vote with my feet, any suggestion of Lisp implementation that has a zero-tolerance policy? Not trying to troll just seeking inside information, anyone know how Carnegie Mellon's version is holding out? One thing that I think has been overlooked in the recent "should AI be allowed?" thread was: how about the copyright? How can the "author" grant copyright when they did not write the code? I'm not a lawyer but from what I understand the answer is "they can't" and Microsoft or Google or whoever can issue an injunction at any moment, or 10 years down the track when 5000 more commits have been done on top of the work of various agents and humans. I suppose for the professional programmers there is an attraction to using AI in terms of creating a digital footprint of work done "collaboratively" but I also suppose a lot of people will stop using SBCL ̄\\_(ツ)_/ ̄ . I have seen a few fediverse posts and blog posts to that effect, one person saying they are so disheartened they are considering taking all the Common Lisp repos down. Cheers, Brett. _______________________________________________ Sbcl-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sbcl-devel
