This comment from lloydjatkinson resonated:
As an outside observer but developer using .NET, how concerned should I be about AI slop agents being let lose on codebases like this? How much code are we going to be unknowingly running in future .NET versions that was written by AI rather than real people?
What are the implications of this around security, licensing, code quality, overall cohesiveness, public APIs, performance? How much of the AI was trained on 15+ year old Stack Overflow answers that no longer represent current patterns or recommended approaches?
Will the constant stream of broken PR's wear down the patience of the .NET maintainers?
Did anyone actually want this, or was it a corporate mandate to appease shareholders riding the AI hype cycle?
Furthermore, two weeks ago someone arbitrarily added a section to the .NET docs to promote using AI simply to rename properties in JSON. That new section of the docs serves no purpose.
How much engineering time and mental energy is being allocated to clean up after AI?
Glad you appreciated it!
