I wonder if there was a human in the loop to begin with. I hope the future of CVS is not agents opening accounts and posting 'bugs'

I don't think there are humans involved. I've now seen countless PRs to some repos I maintain that claim to be fixing non-existent bugs, or just fixing typos. One that I got recently didn't even correctly balanced the parenthesis in the code, ugh.

I call this technique: "sprAI and prAI".

    We will quickly evolve a social contract that AI are not allowed to directly contact humans and waste their time with input that was not reviewed by other humans, and any transgression should by swiftly penalized.

    It's essentially spam, automatically generated content that is profitable in large volume because it offsets the real cost to the victims, by wasting their limited attention span.

    If you wantme to read your text, you should have the common courtesy to at least put in a similar work beforehand and read it yourself at least once.

      When you put it like that, what AI does in cases like this, is enable us all to treat each other like e.g. Google and Facebook (and any sufficiently big corporate-bureaucratic entity) has treated us for a long time.

      We have reviewed your claims and found that [the account impersonating your grandma] has not violated our guidelines.

      I was looking through my work email (my personal email is already too far gone) and realized 90pct of the messages were computer generated. Maybe not AI, but still all automatic process fired messages. I was looking for emails that were deliberately drafted by a human, not even sent only to me. Just messages that a human intentionaly made in the moment. Can't filter them out.

      Uh that sounds awesome, but if humanity worked like that then things like actual spam e-mail and "robo-calls" would not exist, right? But they do, and they have done for a while. Sorry for maybe sounding cynical, but I have a really hard time believing in your prognosis.

      ... and if we can't enforce it with social contract, we'll enforce it with AI on the receiving end.

    You're absolutely right! There are no humans involved and I apologize for that! Let me try that again and involve some humans this time, as well as correctly balancing the the parentheses. I understand your frustration and apologize for it, I am still learning as a model!

    Hey don't hate on us humans who genuinely do open random PRs to random projects to fix typos. https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ahenrebotha+archi...

    I think there are humans that watch "how to get rich with chatgpt and hackerone" videos (replace chatgpt and hackerone with whatever affiliate youtuber uses).

    It's MLM in tech.

The future of everything with a text entry box is AIs shoveling plausible looking nonsense into it. This will result in a rise of paranoia, pre-verification hoops, Cloudflare like agent-blocking, and communities "going dark" or closed to new entrants who have not been verified in person somewhere.
