<p>I also was having a similar thought, and think you wrote the answer I could not put my finger on.
Compilers are deterministic, AI is a stochastic process, it doesn't always converge exactly to the same answer. Here's the main difference</p>

<p>It's not really clear to me what's your position. In the sense you state that you find it appalling, but what? The fact that there is a problem with such generative AI, the discussion that might follow, or its consequences.<p>Obviously the powers that be will try to use this at their advantage, trying to tighten a bit control over population, such as rendering AI models illegal, except a selected blessed few (read megacorp. ones)<p>IMO the general response shouldn't be just trying to defend the freedom position for freedom sake, but to find viable alternative solutions that don't mine the freedom of the population.<p>For example... we could try to use AI to detect if the images are AI generated or not :) And police should have the means to use AI, maybe given for free by the megacorp that benefit the most from AI</p>

<p>That is a study I'd sponsor :D<p>Joking apart (for I am joking, I'd never sponsor something that forces people to do things they don't want) My only point is that whenever I read something like this... well it stinks, because it goes against what I perceive as common sense.<p>Someone took my first comment too seriously, my point being that after so many studies read, weighted, measured and found wanting... I don't want to waste my time reading something that doesn't pass the smell test.<p>Who did they interview? People who have cargo bikes
Do they like them? Yes they bought them and either liked them to begin with, or are rationalizing, then there is a minority who's objective.<p>Ask people with Mercedes what's the car brand they like the most.<p>For example: I drive an Alfa Romeo and once I was stopped by a guy (in Germany) that asked me if I wanted to join a Italian  Car Club... and he was the proud driver of a FIAT Tipo, not a car I'd buy for it's beauty or one I'd show in a car club, yet he liked it, and we are discussing a study that hinges on what people like?<p>EDIT: just to say... I agree with you, there's a bit of selection bias at work here</p>

<p>That's bollocks, it's more that the vast majority of people who buys a cargo bike is a bike enthusiast to start with.<p>Case in point I am not, I was convinced to buy a cargo bike, and I still like my car very much, particularly when it's rainy and/or cold<p>Still like the bike in warm summer days, but in winter... only car</p>

<p>I think that one way to "easily" understand the syntax of git is to remember that when you perform a command you "always" modify the current branch<p>for example:
git merge my-branch     will merge my-branch into the current one<p>while
git rebase my-branch    will rebase current one on top of my-branch</p>
