Scope Creep Press

@bjb @hopeless @tomgag I think it's definitely witholding pertinent information from potential users/customers, though I don't think that's a legal issue. (Maybe license violation, in some cases?) If there was an attempt to file copyright on AI drafted material, then that would be a problem. But the only test case I'm aware of--comic with a human-written script + AI art--had an easily defined (and disclosed) divide between human work and slop.

@bjb @hopeless @tomgag Not currently. But trademark law is a different animal. And in any case, it's presumably just the name, and maybe the wordmark, at issue, so I don't think a vibe-coded product would matter. (IANAL)

@hopeless @tomgag And there's already an older GPL-licensed project (Meshtastic). So this is not just a case of .co.uk/.io competing with each other in a niche space.

@hopeless @tomgag Given the number of programmers I know who are scrambling to fix vibe-coded crap, I am deeply skeptical. Programming's not rocket science, but it does require some degree of skill/knowledge/contextual awareness.
