I’ve recently had to begin dealing with this type of crap at my job in the past month, and it’s infuriating. Testers using LLMs to analyze logs, said LLMs cockily composing a multi-page ‘bug report’ stating the supposed cause, spewing a metric tonne of mostly irrelevant context and gaslighting with authoritative-sounding conclusions about the root cause of the issue; and since it sounds so damned confident in its verbose hallucinations, I have to waste precious time explaining to the test team and my manager why the report is mostly or entirely wrong. Goddamn, I am so ready to retire. Let these “dark factory” advocates bury themselves in their models’ slop. There will be a reckoning someday for this I swear; and if, someday, a company comes to me to clean up the mess “AI” has wrought, I will demand 3-4x my regular salary to clean it up, or, if I am financially content in retirement, I will simply tell them to go fuck themselves and lay in the bed they have made.

Yeah, LLMs are gonna spin their wheels hard when it comes to testing anything at the kernel/os level, if you dont have automated testing with a virtual machine setup to actually be able to replicate a bug, you 100% just cannot test anything they produce or say As soon as you have the ability to go “Okay we have a failing test, make it pass”, the LLMs get a lot less stupid, because instead of just randomly fumbling around and guessing, they have actual feedback to iterate on and can actually chew on it til they fix the issue or give up.

Actual comment proving it's bullshit: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/7074#issuecomment-4556782893 But the PR is still merged. What does that mean. They just accepted it anyway? 😢 Edit: it was reverted, I hear ya 🙏🤟

Please let's avoid the term "clanker" here, it's part of an awful meme that applies racist rethoric and trops to robots. I assume you have no such intention and are just using it as a derogatory term for AI, but please use a term that isn't tied to these communities.
