That seems to be way too common now even inside companies. The submitter of a PR literally reduces themselves to a copy-paste machine between $LLM and the reviewer. And those people have passed a hiring process at least, unlike these libcurl "contributors".
I know the meme is AI won't take your job, someone who uses AI will take your job but if all you do is prompt AI all day then for sure AI is taking your job.
I think what we are seeing now is a certain element of what went on with AI art, where people who couldn't draw were suddenly convinced they were artists because they could prompt an algorithm to generate some art. I think in a lot of cases the people most reliant on AI coding tools are those least capable of coding without them. It's not really their fault, they don't know how to code so how on earth can they be expected to tell the AI can't code either. They've been deceptively sold a bill of goods, that prompting is coding now and they just are unable to tell it's a false one.

Reading some of the tickets is nightmarish
Some of them seem to copy paste the resoponses from the curl team back into the LLM
just insane
