This is in a PR where Shougo, another long-time contributor, communicates entirely in walls of unparseable AI slop text: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413

What a pathetic state after decades of active, thoughtful work. "I asked the chatbot how to write this code", "Well, I asked my chatbot, and "he" doesn't like it". What a fucking embarrassment.

This isn't even rewriting his own thoughts in whatever bland style the chatbot can muster, it's just dumping people's comments into the bot and copy-pasting whatever it shits out.

This is The Future that boosters want: An endless bikeshedding session where agreeable chatbots trade excessively polite thank-yous and screenfuls of bullet-pointed lists. A bunch of children, getting paid to play around with tamagotchis.

What a bleak fucking future to dream of.

@AndrewRadev everyuone I talked to when the dumbass AI boom started told me not to worry but I knew straight away vibe coding trash will make things crap. Seeing people I used to look up to when I was a young developer are now AI zombies. My current, thankfully non-dev, work is impacted a lot with certain vendors releasing updates that break a lot of basic functionality. What a f-ing mess :(

@thereverend4253 @AndrewRadev the real tears will start flowing after the crash, when the AI users will have to pay the actual cost of their computations, and start to save money by actually modifying generated code by hand.
There's going to be a lot of hand-wringing and ugly-crying.
And if i don't misjudge humanity, they will probably blame the people who fought AI spread for the crash and their predicament.

@qhstone @mavu @AndrewRadev History repeats itself. Hard not to go memberberries about all the fecking tech that was supposed to replace IT people and just made a mess and added more tech debt. Or like Meta, I can still laugh about hard.
