I am most concerned about that. If the legal position on copyright of AI code is decided in the future an audit or tracking of AI contributions in the codebase may be necessary to understand risk and exposure.

Granted you can’t make people disclose AI assistance with 100% accuracy but I would expect a majority to comply.

I gave up with boxes many years ago as it would not restore vms from snapshot reliably, something I use a lot.

I’d like to say neovim but if notepad++ is too complicated then neovim definately is. There are ‘distributions’ that give you a setup ready to go e.g. Lazyvim but you’re still going to have to fiddle with it sometimes.

I don’t think Lazyvim has any ai features out of the box.

If you are at all curious the ‘Lazyvim for Ambitious Developers’ book is a great way in and easy to skim through. Here’s the chapter on ai which proves you have to turn it on to enable it:

I can’t say for sure if the developers of neovim are using ai themselves for the codebase, I suspect they might be as they have made positive statements on it in the past. Love to hear if someone can confirm or not.

I like the idea as BASH is available everywhere but has terrible gotchas in its syntax plus at times is unreadable.

When I did some moderately complicated amber scripts I hit bugs. Also still some important features are missing.

So I’m keeping an eye on it but it’s definately not ready for anything serious yet.

I am also watching https://oils.pub/ and hoping one or both of these projects succeed.
