The AI is trained on human input. It uses the dash because humans did.
Yeah but a dash, at least on my keyboard is a '-', not the one quoted above.

#62Wow even the followup response apologising for noise was full of noise. It finishes "I can follow up ... blah blah blah ... should I find an issue" Tone deaf and utterly infuriating.

I really loved how easy MacOS made these (option+hypen for en, with shift for em), so I used to use them all the time. I'm a bit miffed by good typography now being an AI smell.

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.

#66What is the motivation behind posting such things? I understand if there is a bug bounty program, does cURL have one?
Yes they do. But I also wonder why curl seems to get so many of these. They don't have the highest payouts, have been around for long time so presumably most low hanging fruit the AI has even a remote chance of finding was fixed, and they are well known to be on the lookout and strict about AI reports.

#67"I heard you were extremely quick at math" Me: "yes, as a matter of fact I am" Interviewer: "Whats 14x27" Me: "49" Interviewer: "that's not even close" me: "yeah, but it was fast"
There should be a language that uses "Almost-In-Time" compilation. If it runs out of time, it just gives a random answer.
Best I can do is a system that gives you a random answer no matter how much time you give it.

So you can put this on your resume: Open Source Contributor: - Diagnosed and fixed a key bug on Curl
Hah, the opposite of "AI" meaning "Actually Indian"... "Here's my CV, but actually all my work will be done by AI".
With apologies for stereotyping.

I wonder if there was a human in the loop to begin with. I hope the future of CVS is not agents opening accounts and posting 'bugs'

#70Is there something about cUrl that attracts these AI bots, or is it just better documented by them - because I was going to say that this is old, but then I checked the date and realized that this is a new problem. Going down the rabbit-hole, @badger has made multiple posts [0][1] about AI slop.
