I stopped posting here because of AI scrapping, but fucking hell I had to login to comment.

I has this stupid same shit done in a PR just a few weeks ago. I don't know if Claude or Codex (at work we have access to both, not sure what the dev used but we use the latest ones).

We had a function called:

`getObjectsInfo(objectIds: [number]) -> [ObjectInfo]`

I don't know what the dev prompted, but the PR was 90+ line function and 300+ lines of tests because the model decided to create:

`getObjectMetaData(objectId: number) -> ObjectInfo`

with added tests and so on, when just calling it with `getObjectsInfo([objectId])` will do the trick, no new code or tests

The output and logic was 99% the same, same types and db calls, but because I assume in the prompt the dev said 'Metadata' instead of 'Info', the model decided to create a 500+ changes PR.

Does submitting this kind of PR count against their promotion or productivity?

Is there any way it could?

Love to hear from companies making progress on this front.

		I wish! My boss at least is checked out and lazy, so he's completely missing the fact that the rest of my team is pushing AI-generated patches that immediately fail testing because they didn't bother to sanity test before pushing. Instead everyone is saying how amazing AI-generated patches are.

User forgot to tell LLM not to duplicate. LLM produced a lovely, working, big line count PR: manager of LLM was happy, keeps paying for it, so all is good right?

		I don't really care about the dev future as a few years ago I started to divert from it and most of my income is in other things. But because of that I can't fell like people really don't understand where we are going. I have a conspiracy theory that even VCs are on it. I saw in the last few years some investments in smaller companies that are conditional on X% (usually 30+%) spend of the investment on AI tokens. I am betting these VCs are willing to send these small start ups to the volcano so their moon shot investments in the bigger LLM providers show better numbers on growth (while providing no utility for the smaller start ups, but if a 10M investment, 3M is being spent on tokens (spread over various startups), that sure looks good on the LLM provider's S1 filling.
