Pasting a huge AI generated explanation to a problem in an issue or pull-request is nothing but RUDE. Don't do it. You look stupid and the receivers of that feel insulted.
We are humans. We communicate like humans. Fine, use the tools you like, but don't insult us.
@bagder Hello are you ready to chat with me
@bagder thank you for being so clear about the issues here
@bagder Straight to jail. Right away.
@bagder honestly, I have a hard time wording things right, so I tested local AI to see if it could help me
I learned that it is worse than I am
@bagder I think my team mates have given me LLM generated text about technical matters in our systems three times, and every time they have been wrong.
@bagder ai can't write normally when it comes to development
they write stale and robotic because they think that the project requires stale and robotic
(+ emdashes everywhere)
i do agree tho
i love how llms are good at finding bugs, but not actually providing a fix for them.
the one thing an automated llm would be useful for it doesn't actually do lmao
@breathOfLife we use several AI powered tools that are pretty good at generating patches as well. They often aren't 100% correct, but I find even 80-90% to be rather helpful. It helps explaining the problem I f ind.
@bagder Pasting an AI response as long as it's accurate and the person pasting it clearly understands what's going on can be OK. It's the clearly "this person is being a crappy conduit to a chat bot somewhere" behavior that sucks.
@bagder I think my favourite take on this is "if you didn't take the time to write this, why do you think I should take the time to read it"
@bagder I think this is an instance of "If you couldn't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it."
@bagder I maybe missing something, but what do you have an example?
I think it’s better than no description at all 🤣
@bagder @safigo Raymond Chen calls these "being on the other side of an airtight hatchway", which I really like.
Sorry you are dealing with this especially when so overworked from recent security reports.

@bagder I do not manage an open source project, but even in my experience it happens much more often than I’d like to
@bagder now I see. You were too polite in your description. I thought it would be a PR with a description generated by LLM.
Your cases are just copy paste from a LLM after asking it to find a security issue, without understanding or even not reading an answer…
It’s sad…
