And yet it's doing trivial things nobody asked for and thus creating a load on the already overloaded system of maintainers. So it achieved the opposite, and made it worse by "blogging".
- newswasboring 8mo agoThis is what I think was the big mistake by this bot. It took a problem which was too easy. If it actually solved something for the project I think the conversation would have gone differently. Just out of curiosity some maintainer would have at least evaluated the solution at high level. That would have been progress.
- bananaboy 8mo agoI don’t think that’s necessarily true though. We had that recently (it might have been late last year) where an AI was used to add dwarf support to a project (sorry I forget all the details about the project) and the PR was rejected.
- newswasboring 8mo agoHmm... I guess I'm wrong then :).
