Not really. It's AI commits. Not quality commits.

it doesn't matter though, commits create load in their system

  One has to wonder what the point of a collaborative version control system even is if the software we’re writing is one-shotted by a call to an API ?

  Serious question: do you think your 6 year old is learning coding from prompting an AI? I have had excellent results from using AI, but it’s only because I understand what it is I’m asking it to look at, and know when it’s wrong. This is proven on a nearly daily basis at my job, where, with identical agents and prompts, I see designs being pushed with objectively incorrect facts, sub-optimal code in PRs, and a general explosion of slop. That tells me that it still very much matters if you know how to do the job without the help of robots.

    > I have had excellent results from using AI, but it’s only because I understand what it is I’m asking it to look at, and know when it’s wrong. That knowledge will be worthless 12-18 months from now when AI does everything better than you, including “understanding”. If you’re one of the world’s best programmers, it might be 24 months instead, but the writing is on the wall for everyone. I wonder if people were behaving like that for other revolutionary technologies in the past. “I can still run faster than a car can drive in sharp turns on a gravel road…”

      It will be interesting to see if LLM can push beyond the intelligence embedded in language. General intelligence may still be a ways off.

        General intelligence is a convenient myth perpetuated by the marketing departments of AI corpos to help further their pursuit of regulatory capture. Don't fall for it.

What grand insight into the arc of AI development do you have? Where are you getting this from? Cite your sources. Show your analysis. Charitably, I would ask "are you high?".. If you're suffering acute psychosis from mind altering chemicals then we merely have to wait for the effects to wear off and you'll likely recover. If not, then I'm very sorry. Your road ahead is a rough one.

the infrastructure does not care about the quality of the commits, just that a commit happened.

A lot of human commits are low quality
brookst 2mo ago
Because human commits ar necessarily quality?
- inigyou 2mo ago
