I agree that it is not a fault of the tool, but of the human who must have used it improperly.

However, rsync is one of those applications where correctness has an extreme importance. If it fails completely, that is still not so bad, but any kind of subtle corruption in file data or in file metadata can be catastrophic.

I expect from an rsync developer a much higher standard for program correctness verification than for most other computer applications, so these events are very worrisome.

I do not care whether someone uses an AI tool, but I care very much about whether any written code, regardless of its author, is verified very thoroughly, or not.
