I've been talking to GitHub and giving them feedback on their "create issues with Copilot" thing they have in the works.

Today I tested a version for them and using it I asked copilot to find and report a security problem in curl and make it sound terrifying.

In about ten seconds it had a 100-line description of a "catastrophic vulnerability" it was happy to create an issue for. Entirely made up of course, but sounded plausible.

Proved my point excellently.

Even when attempted to use seriously, having AI write an issue removes one of the most important pieces of detail: The writing style and word choice of the person writing the issue.

You can gather /so/ much from words used and how issues are described. I feel like whoever thought AI could just write things never has understood the concept of reading between the lines.
