      If you know what you’re doing, AI can be a very useful tool. However, a lot of people have no clue what they’re doing and they use AI to amplify their incompetence.

        Maybe one day someone can actually prove the mythical usefulness of AI beyond software devs who think they’re 19% faster but are actually 10% slower.

          That study was redone and the results were less conclusive the second time around

            They were less conclusive because they couldn’t find participants. Probably because they paid a third of what the previous study did.

      Some of the AI generated bug reports we get are good because the author had verified them, added a test case and at least reviewed if it is guest trigger able. Yesterday’s flood however was low effort spam.
