Seems like he’s been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports

It's not just LLM generated security reports, but vulnerabilities discovered by AI. Your wording implies they were just reports, and of less validity. Lazy LLM reports are not what he is trying to cope with, since there is nothing to do but close those reports. He is talking about real, verified, vulnerabilities that weren't discovered until AI tools. Not because humans couldn't find them, but none ever did. When it comes to finding, it really doesn't matter if it's found by human or AI, since that doesn't change its existence or severity.

I used AI tools to do the grunt work because they are good at that.

This is something people complaining should remember. AI is good at some parts of the work of a software engineer: the grunt work.

I can't wait for companies to finally price out most of developers out of AI use, especially the FOSS ones.

I just hope most of them won't get too addicted to the tech crack they are getting free/cheap samples of currently, and will be able able to find back their motivation and skill to work without a feel-good dopamine machines.

Also, lol at all the coments being like "if you're 100% against the tech crack, you're delusional. The cat is already out of the bag, it makes you way better at coding, if you use it responsibly!"

The problem isn't that it's not somewhat good, the issue is that soon you won't be able to afford it, while also being addicted and dependant on it. But I'm sure y'all are able to use crack responsibly and will be fiiine.

The whole rsync repo is 65k lines total. Recent AI-centric changes account for +16k/-6k, including massive changes to the unit tests. Somehow that's not even considered a "minor" update (v3.4.1 to v3.4.3).

That's not responsible use of AI, that's malpractice.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. If an established dev uses AI and you don't want that? Then get involved.
