Developer Eric Lengyel responded to criticism of his equation editor project by stressing that his libraries Radical Pie and Slug contain no AI-generated code. He argues that if AI ever trivially reproduces his nontrivial work, it will be because AI learned from his papers, blog posts, and example code. The exchange began when Elijah Meeks dismissed such projects as trivial artifacts of cheap AI-assisted coding.
