The official Introduction to Github page included an AI-generated graphic with the phrase "continvoucly morged" on it, among other mistakes.

    The image was licensed under creative Commons where they just need to give attributions .

    The author even offered the download of the original keynote file, if someone wanted to edit the text or change something

    But no, they had to crunch it with copilot with some prompt “make it enough different so that we don’t need to give attribution”

    Around the turn of the decade there was this big movement to rename the master branch to main. GitHub, too, made that switch and when you create a new repository the master branch is called main. The original flowchart was from 2010, when the main branch was still called master, so it’s called master there.

    The AI generated flowchart, of course, is not a plagiarism machine and it’s exactly like a human being that is merely inspired by the source material. Surely it used the up-to-date name for that branch?

    Even the diagram this was based upon plagiarized from is too complicated for most projects to be using.

      I’m starting to feel ever more smug and comfy since I started converting my gut feeling about AI in the beginning, into an opinion based on myriad articles and discussion about how immoral, environmentally insane, and error-prone/dangerous it is when used in the wrong way.

          I came to the comments hoping to see “morged” adopted for this reason.

          How should we say it in present tense? Morg or morge?

          Personally, I’m voting “morg,” with a hard g, because I think it sounds funnier.

      "Hey boss, great news! I finished the project according to your instructions with the reversed arrow of time! I just un-merged the second and first commit and to ensure it stays at that state, I deleted all the backups, too! "

      The original one was being quoted long before Microslop shit. And yes, it will continue to be quoted for as long as it is relevant.
