I have never seen an AI meeting summary that was useful or sufficient in explaining what happened in the meeting. I have no idea what people use them for other than as a status signal

Why do people want to signal their low status?

In their minds it is a signal of high status.

This example is much worse: https://hackerone.com/reports/2298307

I wonder if this could be startups that are testing on open source projects but eventually will release a product for companies and their proprietary code cases.

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.

> "Here's my CV, but actually all my work will be done by AI".

What AI did you use? Because we want to hire that, not you.

If AI exceeds human capabilities, it won't because it achieved "superintelligence," it will because it caused human abilities to degrade until the AI looks good in comparison.

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.

Wait so are we now saying that these AIs are failing the Turing test?

(I mean I guess it has to mean that if we are able to spot them so easily)

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…

I was looking through my work email (my personal email is already too far gone) and realized 90pct of the messages were computer generated. Maybe not AI, but still all automatic process fired messages. I was looking for emails that were deliberately drafted by a human, not even sent only to me. Just messages that a human intentionaly made in the moment. Can't filter them out.

I noticed this a few years ago and decided to start giving any automated systems a special email address so I can filter automated email into a separate folder. I only give out my personal email address to actual humans. Its been a huge improvement to only see human-written emails in my inbox.

Hieroglyphics are vastly underused. 𓂫 ~ 𓃝 JdeBP𓆈localhost 𓅔 % 𓅭 pts/0

Love it, first time I see that online on forums (genuinely). Gives ideas for Reddit posts

U+130B9 is probably a good one to start with over there.

It's all in aid of some streetsweeper being able to add "contributor to X, Y, Z projects!" to their GitHub résumé. Before LLMs were a thing I also received worthless spelling-incorrection pull requests with the same aim.

Are spelling correction PRs not welcome? I'd never put it on a résumé but if I'm following a README and I see a typo, I'll generally open a quick PR to fix that. (no automated tools, not scanning for typos, just a human reading a README).

Depends on the project.

This might be some kind of asshole Tech-guy trying to make the "This AI creates pull-requests that are accepted into well regarded OSS projects".

IE: They're farming out the work now to OSS volunteers not even sure if the fucking thing works, and eating up OSS maintainer's time.

Hey don't hate on us humans who genuinely do open random PRs to random projects to fix typos. https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ahenrebotha+archi...

I’d love to know what your genuine motivation is. Is it a desire to genuinely improve projects? Because I’ve always had the impression that people who do this just want to boost their PR counts and GitHub activity numbers.

> PR counts and GitHub activity numbers.

This used to mean something, but I don't think it does anymore.
