Over in r/cpp there were interesting (presumably largely thought up by actual people not just spew from a model) ideas for language reform hiding as "Profiles" for C++ 29 or beyond
Better get used to it, the art of writing without AI assistance is dead. You will occasionally find some of it like a truffle in the woods, but that was it. And even if the next generation will attempt stringing a few sentences together by hand it will sound like AI, because they grew up spending more time talking to AI than anyone else.
I attend a local writer’s group in my area, where people write in person within a time limit. The art of writing without AI assistance still lives, but it’s not online and probably not discussing the C++ standard library.
If I want to read a LLM's "opinion" on some subject I just prompt it myself. Inserting humans as intermediaries that pretend they wrote something is dishonest at best. Future generations will hopefully see through that and stop sign generated texts with fake human names.
I left C++ almost 10 years ago but I still remember how surprised and frustrated I was when auto_ptr was deprecated and then removed from the C++ standard as we had built our dependency injection framework and progress primitive on it.
Wasn't unique_ptr added as a migration path away from auto_ptr to provide similar functionality more safely? I've never used them but was just reading the history.

I smell AI. If you don't write it, I don't read it.

How many letters are in the word 'volatile' ?
Woof. Didn't even bother to proofread the AI slop. Wow.
I think we need a "Flag AI Slop" button.
That's just the "Flag" button.
Although it's AI, I am surprised how many references it added correctly.

this kind of overt inevitabilism is complicity in the death of good writing.
