The very first part of the quotation is "Knowing qrious exists".

So the fact they've already got the example is great if you do in fact already have that knowledge, and *completely useless* if you don't.

> I kind of regret asking the poor guy to show his stuff. None of these tutorial projects come even close to what an AI contribution to qemu would look like. It's pointless.

For better and worse, I suspect it's very much the kind of thing AI would contribute.

I also use it for things, and it's… well, I have seen worse code from real humans, but I don't think highly of those humans' coding skills. The AI I've used so far are solidly at the quality level of "decent for a junior developer", not more, not less. Ridiculously broad knowledge (which is why that quality level is even useful), but that quality level.

Use it because it's cheap or free, when that skill level is sufficient. Unless there's a legal issue, which there is for qemu, in which case don't.
