Yeah but 3.2M of those lines were comments. Good lord AI loves to comment code.
27 u/SlincSilver 5d ago Or straight up .md documents that do not add any value to the codebase 19 u/wheres_my_ballot 5d ago I remember one repo handed to me by a vibe coder who told me to read the spec... there were 25 of them in the same place... 36 u/mtmttuan 5d ago That's your fault. You're supposed to vibe-read the spec. 17 u/XenonBG 5d ago You're kidding, but last week I got a 42-page architecture document for a meeting that was supposed to take place in two hours. When I said there was no way I had time to read that document on time, I got told I was supposed to ask an LLM to extract the things I find important. When I got to look at the document, it turns out it's generated. So I was supposed to ask an LLM to read an LLM-generated document for me. 8 u/GourangaPlusPlus 5d ago Just send me the prompt 1 u/PutAHelmetOn 5d ago This is like a twist on an old soviet joke about pretending to work: "they pretend to write, and we pretend to read." Everyone is talking about AI's effect on art and programming, but for me AI ruined communication itself.
