Seems like he's been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

Yep, while I don't use them myself, I saw the output of the latest models at the beginning of May. While there are some "good" things in it, the vast majority of the output was unnecessary maintenance load or just wrong. And, while the person showing off the output claimed they couldn't have written the code, I didn't see anything particularly special.

On top of that, I don't believe the output of Qwen (or any other coding model) can be distributed without violating a large number of copyrights, so it's entirely inappropriate for FOSS projects.

I have a perfect example for that. I asked Qwen to write a simple python socket app. one for server and one for client.

While I was reading through forum posts about python socket communication, I found a post from 8 years ago. same script. same variable names. same comments. word for word. line for line. the same exact script.

so much for AI "not stealing content".

Your post here reads like AI funnily enough

you're absolutely right. I'm just old though and this is how we talk.

I guess it's like telling someone they seem to be coming down with a cold, they probably already know

it's a particular pita for me because I use bullets, try to use perfect spelling, and try my best at punctuation.

Into the trash it goes
