"continvoucly morged" is such a perfect phrase to describe what happened, it's poetic

It's the sound of speaking when someone is stuffing AI down your throat.

Was reading the word morged thinking it was some new slang I hadn't heard of. Incredible.

  Same! I was about to go duck-searching for meaning, but thanks to jezzamon for pointing it out. brb, printing a t-shirt that says "continvoucly morged"

    You could add one of those Microslop memes that are going around.

  I propose: Morge: when an AI agent is attempting to merge slop into your repo.
  - Balinares 8mo ago
    Lifehack: you can prevent many morges by banning user claude on GitHub. Also then GitHub will also tell you when a repo was morged up. Do your part to keep GitHub from mutating into SourceMorge.

    Or something more general, like when a concept or diagram gets pulled into the AI's rough knowledge base, but it completely misses the point and mangles it. Or, alex_suzuki's colorful definition. But really, whoever goes to Urban Dictionary first gets to decide what the word means. None of the prior definitions of "morg" has anything to do with tech.

    But it was created with a definition already: When an AI agent takes your work and regurgitates a worse version of it.

"Babe, wake up. New verb for slop just dropped." It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Decades upon decades of hard work by public contributors -- open source code, careful tech blogging, painstaking diagrams -- all of it will be assimilated without credit or accuracy into the morg. Resistance is futile.

  Good - we've been building the seed corpus for AI the past 50 years, and all this manual work now becomes exponentially more useful to others who get to build amazing things without all the tedium. I'm personally thrilled if my code made it in to the machine to help others. We laid train tracks by hand so that they could invent a machine to do it and we can focus on the destination. I've been coding for over a decade, and I've built some great things, but the slow, careful, painstaking drudge-work parts were always the biggest motivation-killers. AI is worth it at any cost for removing the friction from these parts the way it has for me. Days of work are compressed into 20 minutes sometimes (e.g. convert a huge file of Mercurial hooks into Git hooks, knowing only a little about Mercurial hooks and none about Git hooks re: technical implementation). Donkey-work that would serve no value wasting my human time and energy on when a machine can do it, because it learned from decades of examples from the before-times when people did this by hand. If some people abuse the tools to make a morg here and there, so be it; it's infinitely worth the tradeoff.

    IMO this would be a much more sensible reply to a different post, not one about a chart that unironically contains the words "continvoucly morged"

      Yeah, I felt kind of bad that he gave me such an earnest, thought-out reply to what was essentially a stupid morg/borg joke. But his final sentence suggests that he at least got my joke. (I don't entirely agree with him, but I upvoted for at least trying to get us back on topic!)

I can't believe all the mockery here. The AI thinks it "convincingly morphed" the original, and instead of coaching it to do better next time, all you people are merciless. AIs have feelings too, you know! I, for one, welcome our new overlords, and I would never, ever, ever say or do anything to intimate that they are less than perfect, or that they are not getting even better every day.

  Wow, the original was actually the real diagram at a thumbnail-quality resolution, so this was an AI upscaling or something like that. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/learn/blob/c266367ec0eb1f7f9a4adc9e5b2c456af015df34/learn-pr/github/introduction-to-github/media/2-git-flow-image.png https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/learn/blob/c266367ec0eb1f7f...
