"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

While that is definitely a risk one Claude commit in what might have been a larger MR doesn't really tell you much.
It could have been a single item in a long list the agent just put it in its own commit.
Wait, you guys are complaining about the commit comment?
Yes, one way ai attempts to help is by automating commits and merge requests. Thats the least of our worries
Yep, hence the "sounds like". Can't know for sure, obviously. But such trivial things shouldn't be hard to do "manually". Just paste a link and write some text.
You can even have it split and reorder commits.
