You know there's a saying in Russian, that roughly translates to: "an expert surgeon is capable of helping a bad dancer", which is on itself is a reference to another idiom: "a bad dancer always blames his own balls".

That's quickly becoming befitting for cases like this - so often people rush to blame AI without even trying to use their own reasoning. I don't know what to say, hope you find a good surgeon, because it is obvious - you're shit of a dancer.

"A good craftsman doesn't blame his tools" might be the western equivalent.

The very official Clojure page in TFA links to clojure-mcp (written by the person who created figwheel: a famous ClojureScript library in the Clojure ecosystem) and other AI resources related to Clojure.

It's not because Rich doesn't want AI-generated pull-requests by people then taking credits that the Clojure community is anti-AI.

I use Claude Code CLI daily with Clojure, just not in a "write me five thousands lines of Clojure code I won't read" type of way.

Are you watching the same thing I am? What AI slop?

I think they mean the video thumbnail, which may or may not be AI-generated.

I don't think it is, considering they highlighted it in a post about human craft [1]. I read somewhere it was illustrated by felipemelo.net, but can't find the reference anymore

It'll be interesting to learn whether it was AI-generated. It certainly SEEMS like it is. It has a few "tells":

- two belts and two Clojure logo belt buckles

- same code repeated on the steps (odd artistic choice if made by the artist)

- the seemingly out-of-place scarf, stylistically its color/pattern doesn't seem to fit

Either way, it seems like an homage to this Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom poster:

That wouldn't be very interesting at all. It's just a thumbnail on a niche programming documentary

The BlueSky post has another interesting clue. The pencil sketch on the right. Seems possible a human artist drew the sketch, then had an AI model "colorize" it. And in so doing, maybe the AI model added the 3 genAI tells/artifacts I identified above.

the scarf matches the one Rich is wearing near the end of the documentary. the code matches what's on the Clojure source code, even if it's an odd choice. the two belts are in the draft, even if only one of them features the logo. the artist's instagram has a bunch of well colorized artwork. I believe it is really human made

Huh. I don’t doubt you, but I guess this is a sign pervasive AI/LLM generative artwork is messing with my brain’s pattern matching at a deep level.

Rich commented in one of the comments under the video pointing the same thing and he says it is not AI generated

At least the cult repo folks said on LinkedIn that it is not, which tbh is surprising.

As you demonstrated, AI is not needed to write slop, just because AI is involved doesn't make it slop. We are still very much in the control even if it is generation.
