Today we received a pure AI generated PR in #JaCoCo. While the content is actual impressive it has several flaws.
https://github.com/jacoco/jacoco/pull/1906
My feeling about this is what I added as a comment: "I don't feel like spending my personal free time for other's laziness."

No matter how much Google ask to install "Gemini CLI: your open-source AI agent" for your terminal on macOS, Linux, Unix or other oses, do not install it. Here is a snippet from their policy:
Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and ML technologies.
All your data on disk will be the part of AI training which is privacy nightmare
Why I love #opensource? Many glitches are quickly noted and get fixed. ❤️

On Mastodon, I got five votes, none with the correct answer. On LinkedIn, many more, and 40% with the right answer. Come on, Mastodoners...we can do better.
