Wow that’s infuriating. Fascinating watching the maintainer respond in good faith.
bagder is both extremely grumpy about the state of it and fascinatingly patient. He's like 80% wise old barn owl.
I've read all of them. It's interesting how over the last 2 years badger moved from being polite to zero fucks given.

I'm starting to wonder if there's a real difference between the populations who use em dashes and those who think it's a sign of AI. The former are the ones who write useful stuff online, which the AIs were trained on, and the latter are the consumers who probably never paid attention to typography and only started commenting on dashes after they became a meme on LinkedIn.
Holy ego lol.
hello LLM
I’ve also received tickets where the code snippets contained API calls that I never added to the API. A real “am I crazy” situation where I started to doubt I added it and had to double check.
On top of that you get “may I get a refund” emails but expanded to four paragraphs by our friend Chat. It’s getting kinda ridiculous.
Overall it’s been a huge additional time drain.
I think it may be time to update the “what’s included in support” section of my softwares license agreement.

I watched someone do this during an interview. They were literally copy and pasting back and forth the LLM. In front of the interviewers! (myself and another co-worker) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44985254
How far did they get? Did they solve the problem?

I see it on forums now too. On Reddit, midsized subs that get a mild amount of traffic get these brand new accounts that post what reads like an amalgam of past posts. Often in help forums where people ask questions. They have that uncanny thing where yes it's on topic, but also not how a human would likely ask exactly AND they always let slip in just a hint of human drama that really draws in other users... They alm…
> they always let slip in just a hint of human drama I haven't seen this so it's hard to visualize, but that seems potentially kind of tricky to do via AI. Is it actually tricky, are they donw in a way where AI could conceivably do it on its own, or are those hints easy to drop in without disturbing the bulk of the slop?
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…
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.

Yea but you can always tell it’s an Indian because they write differently from actual English speakers.
I feel like ‘actual English’ comes off as unnecessarily mean here. There is no ‘actual English’ there are just different regional and cultural variations. You may personally like one or another better, you may find some particular varieties easier or harder to understand, but that doesn’t make those people any more or less ‘actual’ English speakers than you are. They are ‘actually’ speaking English, just like you. If…
