Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I'm a bit ashamed to say that, after using various ASCII symbols (for progress, checkmarks etc.) in the 90s and early 2000s, when I first discovered we can actually put special Unicode characters on the terminal and it will be rendered almost universally in a similar way, it was like discovering an unknown land.

While rockets and hearts seem more like unnecessary abuse, there are a few icons that really make sense in CLI and TUI programs, but now I'm hesitant to use them as then people who don't know me get suspicious it could be AI slop.

I wonder where the balance of “Actual time saved for me” vs “Everyone else's time wasted” lies in this technological “revolution”.

Wasting time for others is a net positive, meaning jobs won't be lost, since some human individual still needs to make sense out of AI generated rubbish.

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

It's an n8n bot without user input. If you Google the username you'll find a GitHub full of agent stuff.

What is the motivation behind posting such things? I understand if there is a bug bounty program, does cURL have one?

So you can put this on your resume:

Open Source Contributor: - Diagnosed and fixed a key bug on Curl

Spent 15 minutes the other day testing a patch I received that claimed to fix a bug (Linux UI bug, not my forte).

The “fix” was setting completely fictitious properties. Someone has plugged the GitHub issue into ChatGPT, spat out an untested answer.

What’s even the point…

Or at least not anymore since this became the number 1 sign whether a text was written with AI. Which is a bit sad imo.
