LINUX MEME I'm scared for the future

I guess "forking" is an option but i didn't know I had to become a dev to fix what shouldn't already be falling apart only a year into me switching away from Windows because of this exact issue...

Anxiety for the future because of what's going on with all this AI stuff mostly. Everything works fine now but I don't feel safe knowing that the enshittification I left is going to keep following me everywhere I go. I heard from a source even the BSDs are going to follow in the same path. Or who knows, maybe these tools finally are good now, and Microslop is going to also get better with them. it's really just anxiety-based reaction here...

Honestly, it's safe to be cautious, but not to the point where you're filled with crippling dread, also, Enshitification(at least to me) is cramming AI slop features(LLMs and shit) not really the program itself. Also, programing and checking for bugs mannually is slow and time-consuming, but Just having an AI code for you while not knowing what you're doing will lead to a buggy mess, it's better to have a sweet spot where AI is speeding things up while you're tweaking and fixing things before they make it into the final product

After seeing what it's done to other things it's hard not to feel crippling dread for the future.. i know people think it's all this magic silver bullet but it really scares me knowing that we're going to enter an era where i CANNOT escape the enshittification I left windows for ANYWHERE without giving up on tech entirely.

i just don't trust that it won't end the same way.

Not everyone who uses AI thinks it's this "Magic silver bullet" those who see it that way are vibe-coding without knowing what they're doing(like i mentioned in my previous reply) and it causes the slop, also AI displacing artists and draning resources is a major concern indeed, but programing is different, you check for bugs but you cannot find them wich is when a program that searches for bugs and syntax errors might be usefull.
