@danluu the thing i always find most baffling is people using AI for tasks that are already solved:
GitHub already contains a dependency updater that doesn't rely on AI and a lot of languages also have dependency updaters that can easily be executed in GitHub actions for free

@Chase @danluu we have fully deterministic and efficient dependency update systems already and I keep getting told by management that we should replace it with LLMs
