I really hated that kind of language, feels like speaking to a motivator
replyanyway it's slop, can sense it even before i started reading
The worst thing is that I know there's something interesting in there but I'm too arsed to take the time and decode what data the author must have used to generate that text.
replyExactly, it would be so much better if they shared the prompts instead of the output, at least then we'd be able to make some sense of what they were thinking about.
replyUnfortunately the prompt may have been something like "investigate this bug and file an issue when you think you understand what's going on". The "better just to share the prompt" heuristic falls down when the actual underlying intellectual work was also done by the machine.
reply(Feel free to pretend that I used some phrase other than "intellectual work" if you dislike seeing it used to describe something done by AI.)
How so? We can give the same starting point to the same AI and ask it to investigate too.
replyYeah in that case just closing it and moving on would be better IMO. A sufficiently large fraction of the time the issues with vibeslopped code and/or analysis are bad enough once you start digging into it that it's not worth spending time on. My heuristic would be to simply ignore contributions derived from lazy prompts. I don't think there are very many healthy babies in that bath water.
replySo having the prompt available would be useful even in the degenerate case.
Get your own AI to give you the tldr :/
