This is the source of that information:

The updated METR study on this gives different results, but they should still be quite sobering.

#13This whole thing reeks of AI slop writing - wtf allowed this to be on the main page

#14I saw someone on lobste.rs proudly say that they haven't written a line of Zig code in their life. They have 31 Zig repositories on GitHub. GitHub is useless at this point. (As you might imagine, they also post on HN regularly and is quite "AI positive".)

#17I am happy to see how much collective negativity there is to this kind of pointless, time wasting, inaccurate, cringey computer generated boilerplate.

#18Why would it matter? It was of benefit to someone I assume and even if the code is AI generated I think in most cases the results were positive so in theory next AI training runs should be able to learn from those generated results altough that might require work in how training is done or more aggressive filtering. It's literally free RLHF training.

#19Can we all band together and agree to flag articles that are so obviously AI written to be engagement bait and devoid of anything meaningful to discuss?
To use an AI-ism: HN isn't an AI blog dump, it's a community.
