fucking hell. I’m almost certainly gonna see this trash at work and not know how to react to it, cause the AI fuckers definitely want any criticism of their favorite tech to be a career-limiting move (and they’ll employee any and all underhanded tactics to make sure it is, just like at the height of crypto) but I really don’t want this nonsense anywhere near my working environment
I’ve seen a few LLM generated C++ code changes at my work. Which is horrifying.
One was complete nonsense on it’s face and never should have been sent out. The reviewer was basically like “what is this shit” only polite.
One was subtly wrong, it looked like that one probably got committed… I didn’t say anything because not my circus.
No one’s sent me any AI generated code yet, but if and when it happens I’ll add whoever sent it to me as one of the code reviewers if it looks like they hadn’t read it :) (probably the pettiest trolling I can get away with in a corporation)
I’m pretty sure that my response in that situation would get me fired. I mean, I’d start with “how many trees did you burn and how many Kenyans did you call the N-word in order to implement this linked list” and go from there.
Possible countermeasure: Insist on “crediting” the LLM as the commit author, to regain sanity when doing git blame.
I agree that worse doc is a bad enough future, though I remain optimistic that including LLM in compile step is never going to be mainstream enough (or anything approaching stable enough, beyond some dumb useless smoke and mirrors) for me to have to deal with THAT.

@froztbyte @self “not ready for production use”
Implying it will ever be ready
Men will literally use an LLM instead of
going to therapywriting documentation
