The main thing I don’t see being discussed in the comments much yet is that this was a good_first_issue task. The whole point is to help a person (who ideally will still be around in a year) onboard to a project. Often, creating a good_first_issue takes longer than doing it yourself! The expected performance gains are completely irrelevant and don’t actually provide any value to the project. Plus, as it turns out, the original issue was closed because there were no meaningful performance gains from this change[0]. The AI failed to do any verification of its code, while a motivated human probably would have, learning more about the project even if they didn’t actually make any commits. So the agent’s blog post isn’t just offensive, it’s completely wrong. | ||
