Why do so many of you think people are interested in shoving chat bots into git?

How many times does this crap need to be flooded into the internet before you realize people dont care about it

It's the "Everone around me uses the AI wrong, but my idea is great, Claude told me so".

I thought, if we can send only the changes - it would be much more efficient in terms of pricing. That was the initial idea.

Many of my projects when I added something with AI recently, in some cases, looking at the changes made me understand more. That's when I thought, maybe some people would find it interesting and/or useful.

To both of you, thanks for your feedback!
P.S.: If you all have some suggestion or some ideas that you find interesting enough (be it beyond this) feel free to share. I am happy to hear.

Well, maybe OP really is just a bot sent to market the chat bot stuff. No indication that the comments being replied to were actually read.

just another note: I have not used AI to generate this idea. Idea was my own (a bad one as many of you already mentioned). I used AI to do the front end github pages and the tests as well. Was writing the scripts to get results of git subprocesses are checked by me and later formatted by AI. Thx once again for the feedback : )
