In the endless genAI shit that the bird site pushes on me, this caught my eye because it seems like a dream tool for a non-tech suit to generate blame examples for engineers https://xcancel.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/1840941643223945561
i .... have no idea whatsoever what the use case is here ... you make the chatbot generate the code instead of cloning the repo? or it's like generating an API that doesn't work or something?
Think it is an attempt to make it easier to feed somebodies work into a LLM. So you know, stealing.
Yeah it just collates everything in the repo into a single text file so you can upload that to the shit machine
fucking… that’s all? some shit you can do moments after learning about the GitHub API for the first time? and I shouldn’t be surprised, but this is the code that people were fellating in the Twitter comments and/or using to advertise their own shitware?
