When confronted about LLM writing completely broken tests the guy said the funniest thing: "It knows what it’s doing but tends to be… lazy."

I'm a big fan of LLMs but this guy is just a joke. He understand nothing of the code the LLM generates. He says things like "The LLM knows".

He is not going to convince anybody to merge is PRs, since he is not even checking that the tests the LLM generates are correct. It's a joke.

  function estimate_method_targets(func_name::Symbol, types::Tuple)
      # Conservative estimate
      # In a real implementation, we'd query the method table
      return 2  # Assume multiple possibilities
  end

Hilarious. Was this model trained on XKCD [0] by any chance?

As an aside, he originally titled the thread "A complete guide to building static binaries with Julia (updated for 1.12)", with no mention of AI. That got me excited every time I opened the Discourse, until I remembered it was this slop. :/
