I just saw that and their misery has made my day, not least because they then get snippy defending it when everyone has just seen how useless it is.

@GossiTheDog This is like watching a road accident happen.

@seyon @GossiTheDog

This is like watching RFK Jr being nominated and confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

@ted @GossiTheDog More useful. He's not breaking things!

To adapt the old Jurassic park adage:

Just because you could fix the bug doesn't mean you should.

That's the Human value of comprehending the trade-offs in unintended consequences...

I hope most programmers are parents because your new job in the AI age will be arguing with a toddler about cleaning their room

"@copilot Refactor the codebase in Lua."

This one cracked me up!

This is real customer code btw that Copilot is messing up with, big self own by Microsoft playing out.

Microsoft Incident Response are going to book so much revenue from all the security vulns Microsoft Copilot introduces to Microsoft customers.

can't wait to explain to my bosses that all those massive security holes are baked directly into the runtime and beyond my ability to fix

@GossiTheDog On the plus side, think of all the bug bounties we're going to get once this AI-generated code goes into production.

@GossiTheDog This is hilarious and horrifying at the same time.

Coming soon to a repo near you!

@GossiTheDog Maybe they used an early version with 24h2 🤣

It's reassuring to know that my issues with AI coders aren't just because I'm a shitty programmer.

But even I'm not setting them loose on my repo! I get them to make code and then I test and edit in before committing it.

What a counterproductive way to use the tool.
