I really didn't expect a story about curl and AI to be positive for once.

Yeah this is really fair play to Daniel Stenberg that he still approached these AI generated bug reports with an open mind after all the problems he's had.
I think the big difference is that these aren't AI generated bug reports. They are bugs found with the assistance of AI tools that were then properly vetted and reported in a responsible way by a real person.
Basically using AI the way we have used linters and other static analysis tools, rather than thinking it's magic and blindly accepting its output.
In the defense of the language models, the bugs were written by humans in the first place. Human vetting is not much of a defense.

Yep, I feel for the guy. He's had to deal with a hell of a lot of frustrating crap from AI slop to crazy end-users. Kudos for staying on top of it.
