Over time, I've gotten a feel for what kind of content is AI-generated (e.g., images, text, and especially code...), and this text screams "AI" from top to bottom. I think badger responded very professionally; I'd be interested to see Linus Torvalds' reaction in such a situation :D

Crazy how he doubled down by just pasting badger's answer into Chat and submitting the (hilariously obvious AI) reply: > Thanks for the quick review. You’re right — my attached PoC does not exercise libcurl and therefore does not demonstrate a cURL bug. I retract the cookie overflow claim and apologize for the noise. Please close this report as invalid. If helpful, I can follow up separately with a minimal C reproduc…

At some point they told ChatGPT to put emoji's everywhere which is also a dead giveaway on the original report that it's AI. They're the new em dash.

I wonder where the balance of “Actual time saved for me” vs “Everyone else's time wasted” lies in this technological “revolution”.

You're doing it wrong: You should just feed other peoples AI-generated responses into your own AI tools and let the tool answer for you! The loop is then closed, no human time wasted, and the only effect is wasted energy to run the AI tools. It's the perfect business model to turn energy into money.

You joke, but some companies are pushing this idea unironically by putting "use AI to expand a short message into a bloated mess" and "use AI to turn a bloated mess into a brief summary" into both sides of the same product. Good job everyone, we've invented the opposite of data compression.

Some people actually do that on Github too. Absolute psychopaths.

This reads as an AI generated response as well with the; "thanks", "you're right", flawless grammar, and plenty of technical references.

There must be other corporate bounty programs they could DDOS with fake reports - doing it to curl surely won't yield much profit.

This is headline driven development. Sooner or later one of these reports will make it and there will be much rejoicing.

s/much rejoicing/pandora's box/ I guess.

the thing is, these people aren't necessarily wrong - they're just 1) clueless 2) early. the folks with proper know-how and perhaps tuned models are probably selling zero days found this way as we speak.
