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…

I absolutely love the checkmark and crossmark emojis for use in scripts. but I think they are visual garbage in logs.

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

Just because you don’t, doesn’t mean other people don’t. Plenty of real humans use emdash. You probably don’t realise that on some platforms it’s easy to type an emdash.

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.

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!

Keep in mind that now that people know what to pay attention to: em-dash, emojis, etc. they will instruct the LLM to not use that, so yeah.

There should be a language that uses "Almost-In-Time" compilation. If it runs out of time, it just gives a random answer.

Best I can do is a system that gives you a random answer no matter how much time you give it.

Great! 80-20, Pareto principle, we're gonna use that! We are as good as done with the task. Everyone take phinnaeus as an example. This is how you get things done. We move quickly and break things. Remember our motto.

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'

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".
