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…

Makes me wonder whether the submitter even speaks english

We will see more problems related to the attitude: "I know AI, and therefore I'm smarter than trilobites who coded this before the AI boom."

I suppose there's a reason why kids are usually banned from using calculators during their first years of school when they're learning basic math.

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.

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

that's still a huge waste of time and resources. Rather, Daniel has focused on promoting good use of AI that has yielded good results for curl: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/115241241075258997 https://joshua.hu/llm-engineer-review-sast-security-ai-tools...

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.

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

I think the JS/Node scene was the pioneer in spamming emojis absolutely everywhere, well before AI. Maybe that's where the models picked it up from.

Same as watching someone in school try to translate between French and English by a dictionary one word at a time ignoring context...

But frankly security theatre was always going to descend into this with a thousand wannabe l33ts targeting big projects with LLMs to be "that guy" who found some "bug" and "saved the world".

Shellshock showed how bad a large part of the industry is. It was not a bug. "Fixing" it caused a lot of old tried and tested solutions to break, but hey, we as an industry need to protect against the lowest common denominator who refuse to learn better...

And then alien civilization will wonder how humans went extinct.

I see this kind of things with new hires in my company. It is becoming depressing, stupid overly detailed but content free issue comments, stupid code that does not do what it is supposed to do but it is a fucking lot of code for you to review.

this LLM-emboldened, mass Dunning-Kruger schizophrenia has gone from hilarious to sad to simply invoking disgust. this isn't even an earnest altruistic effort but some insecure fever dream of finally being acknowledged as a "genius" of some sort. the worst i've seen of this is some random redditor claiming to have _the_ authoritative version of a theory of everything and spamming it in every theoretical physics adjacent subreddit, claims to have a phd but anonymous and doesn't represent any research group/institution nor does the spam have any citations.
