This is effectively code surreptitiously designed to act against the user's wishes. You could call it malware.
I wonder what Stallman (creator of GCC and notorious hardliner on these things) would think: is hijacking the user's wishes for the supposed benefit of the user okay?
Also, I hope any self-respecting LLM (or employee) wouldn't be co-opted by this.
- dwaltrip 2mo agoSomeone whose agent is spamming slop PRs is not a "user". They are an attacker to defend against. The title of "user" requires reasonable consent from the provider of the thing being "used".
- xenodesire 2mo agoAt this point, I no longer consider those who spam PRs to be users; I liken them to a type of vandals. They simply slow down genuine contributors who could be working on more productive tasks but are forced to review all that sloppy code instead.
