"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A little beside the point, but why on earth would you use copilot to fix "a simple typo?"
Just the phrase "fix my typo" contains about 10 more characters than a typical "simple typo".
Maybe there's some context I'm missing, but I get the impression that the people using these chatbots every day just have their brains melted. Like even the most rudimentary task becomes daunting without the help of their little bullshit machine.
To play devils advocate.
Maybe to write all the boilerplate of the pull request?
Still seems quite wastefull. And yeah they are absolutely just offloading their thinking onto the machine.
