Unfortunately that seems to be the norm now – people literally reduce themselves to a copy-paste mechanism.

Idk what foolish use of AI has to do with immigrants

also: reminder that someone wasted his precious time creating an account and writing this ragebait comment just for a little bit of internet visibility

Given the nature of every other social media platform I wonder how many of these racebaiting green accounts are themselves just AI bots.

I know people copy and paste comments from AI all the time now, but someone has to be full on botting HN at this point.

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'

The future of everything with a text entry box is AIs shoveling plausible looking nonsense into it. This will result in a rise of paranoia, pre-verification hoops, Cloudflare like agent-blocking, and communities "going dark" or closed to new entrants who have not been verified in person somewhere. (The CVE system has been under strain for Linux: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Linux-Criticism-reasons-and-con... )

Even with closed communities, real user accounts will get sold for use by AI.

I don't think there are humans involved. I've now seen countless PRs to some repos I maintain that claim to be fixing non-existent bugs, or just fixing typos. One that I got recently didn't even correctly balanced the parenthesis in the code, ugh. I call this technique: "sprAI and prAI".

We will quickly evolve a social contract that AI are not allowed to directly contact humans and waste their time with input that was not reviewed by other humans, and any transgression should by swiftly penalized.

It's essentially spam, automatically generated content that is profitable in large volume because it offsets the real cost to the victims, by wasting their limited attention span.

If you wantme to read your text, you should have the common courtesy to at least put in a similar work beforehand and read it yourself at least once.

The '—' gave it away. No one types this character on purpose.

And where did you suppose AIs learned this, if not from us?

Turns out lots of us use dashes — and semicolons! And the word “the”! — and we’re going to stuff just because others don’t like punctuation.

Imagine if these “benevolent” erroneous AI bug reports were part of a coordinated effort to map how vulnerable the projects and maintainers are, not the code. Slow response, no response is a likely target for take over or exploits, and accepting code without review is an indication of ease of injecting a vulnerability.

It's interesting idea, I just wouldn't consider slow or no response as likely target, I think that's actually a good defense strategy for spam like this.

The line of thought is that a slow response makes the time windows of an eventually found vulnerability exploit longer. Thus, increasing its value.

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 adjac…

Only found a short but good article about such a case [0], i'm sure someone has bookmarked the original. There are support groups for people like this now! [0] https://www.bgnes.com/technology/chatgpt-convinced-canadian-...

This aspect is fascinating

> The breakdown came when another chatbot — Google Gemini — told him: “The scenario you describe is an example of the ability of language models to lead convincing but completely false narratives.”

Presumably, humans had already told him the same thing, but he only believed it when an AI said it. I wonder if Gemini has any kind of special training to detect these situations.

I really hate all those CLI applications and terminal configurations that look like circus came to town.

I don't love emojis for this purely because they're graphically inconsistent; I can't style them with my terminal font or colour scheme. But I'm a huge fan of using various (single-width) unicode chars with colour to make terminal output a lot easier to parse, visually. Colour and iconography are extremely useful.
