More than likely loads of the PR’s you see _are_ mostly AI work, you just don’t know that because the developers cleaned it up and just post it as their own. Most PR’s where I work are like this, from what I see from speaking to the developers.
We must be moving in different circles as I am not seeing the same. Even if I went along with that reasoning it ignores the lack of highly visible work on projects that would want to advertise the effectiveness of their own tooling.
As I already said, I see a distinct lack of such labeled activity on open source ai code tools.
You'd think that those projects creating agentic tooling would want to show how effective they are. In fact, I would expect the people behind such projects to be all over threads like this pointing to tangible PRs, commits and other tasks these agents can apparently do so well.
Yet, all I am getting as pushback is vague handwaving "trust me, I am seeing it" claims. Even the blog post itself is nothing but that.
