What's your concern?
replyHave you ever programmed with AI? It needs a lot of hand holding for even simple things sometimes. Forgets basic input, does all kinds of brain dead stuff it should know not to do.
reply>"good catch - thanks for pointing that out"
Can you clarify how, at all, that’s relevant to the article?
replyBoth the curl and the SQLite project have been overburdened by AI bug reports.
Unless the Google engineers take great care to review each potential bug for validity the same fate might apply here. There have been a lot of news regarding open source projects being stuffed to the brim with low effort and high cost merge requests or issues.
You just don't see all the work that is caused unless you have to deal with the fallout...
replyThis project has nothing to do with bug reports... it's an opt-in tool for reviewing proposed changes that kernel developers can decide to use (if they find it useful).
replyWell, if it doesn't find anything it's just a waste of time at best.
replyPrevention paradox.
replyi think it's a skill.
replywell tbf code review is probably the most useful part of "AI coding", if it catches even a single bug you missed its worth it, plus false positives would waste dev time but not pollute the kernel
