> AI is not going to encourage any growth in that small elite
In practice we're seeing the biggest waves of development in years. r/emacs gets daily, daily! announcements of new packages. Many of them, if not most, are not some AI-sloped trash - they are very useful. Some package makers go above and beyond - even though vibe-coded, they still show good design decisions, proper tests, hand-written documentation. Canvas stuff most likely wouldn't be possible without LLMs.

Literally unsubscribed from /r/emacs because it was, in fact, trash.
Haven't used the canvas patch but afaik minad didn't use LLMs to write it.
