Of course but people selling/offering shitty tool options is not only expected, it's guaranteed. I certainly do not understand this tendency to blame the machine or makers of the machine and excuse the moronic developer

Nono i agree with you, people like that cant be trusted with tying their shoes.

I just wanted to point out that the system is the way it is because of "idiot human here who actually has the ability to reason"

The person who uses the shitty tool is a moron. The person who makes the shitty tool is an asshole. At least in this case where the shitty tool is actively promoting shitty PRs.

Responsibility is shared. It's not one or the other.

Many people don't know what they're doing. That's kind of expected. But a tool provider and seller should know what they're doing. Enabling people to behave in a negative way should be questioned. Maybe it's a consequence of enablement, or maybe it's bad design or marketing. Where criticism is certainly warranted.

Yes the only people ever to blame are everyone but the people who actually did a thing. That's the same reason voters aren't responsible for trump, Democrats are. /s

Well, for reasons, I happen to know that this person is a student, who has effectively no experience dealing with real-world codebases.

It's possible that the LLM produced good results for the small codebases and well-known exercises that they had to deal with so far.

I'm also guessing, they're learning what a PR is for the first time just now. And then being taught by Microsoft that you can just fire off PRs without a care in the world, like, yeah, how should they know any better?

ultimately the people responsible are the ones giving people tools that can be misused, you don't hand a gun to a child.
