Microsoft devs are being forced to review PRs from their dumbass ai agent on github. Hilarity ensues

  • The comments on #115762 have derailed to the environmental costs of AI at the time of writing this comment. The burgerbrain trying to trivialize the cost of LLMs by saying everyone eating less burgers would have a bigger impact annoys me because the fact that people should stop animal exploitation doesn’t mean it’s perfectly fine to use LLMs

    antelope-popcorn couple replies from the issue links

    copilot seems to be microsofts ‘metaverse’.

    @copilot Refactor the codebase in Lua.

    I never thought I’d see the day when the .NET maintainers would become “vibe coders”.

    How about you stop wasting time handholding the AI to get bad results and instead fix the issue yourselves? You are wasting enormous amounts of power (most likely non-renewable) just for a machine that spews out bad code. Companies sponsor the .NET foundation for you to fix issues and provide quality code, not ask a poorly made “AI” to fix them for you.

      I liked this one lmao

      So far, judging either by this PR or more broadly, it appears to be increasing efficiency like widening roads increase transportation efficiency.

      I really wish it had replied to this with another commit. I assume it has some guardrails in place but that would have been hilarious.

    As a professional c#/.net dev myself, its extremely depressing to watch steven toub and other various microsoft staff engineers try and plug this garbage on their twitters and shit.

    Can someone explain to me the first link on the reddit post?

    So, to my understanding, .NET does not support MacOS. The AI thinks its a bug, so it removes the check for if its running on Mac or not and implements a function to get the MacOS version so dev can only block specific macOS versions instead of all

    Did I miss something?

      Say you have some code that a lot of people are working on. You might personally change a small part of that code and then submit what is known as a Pull Request. The pull request is then reviewed by whoever is responsible and if accepted the code base is updated to include your changes/additions
