"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Shougo is Japanese. I’m guessing he communicates like that because he uses translation rather than trying to communicate in broken English.
That's cool and all, but also they obviously are not just using it to translate. Those are an LLM's words, not a human's, and it is painfully clear. It doesn't even seem like a person is "behind the wheel" at all. As soon as someone disagrees with them, they basically just apologize for "getting it wrong" and do whatever that person told them. They actually go back and forth on the naming convention based solely on the most recent comment. It's typical LLM "agree with the person no matter what" behavior.
Okay that’s really strange. I can only speculate on why they’re doing that. I do know that Shougo is a very long-term contributor to vim’s plugin ecosystem. I can’t imagine why he would be doing this if it weren’t just a language barrier issue.
TBF if the reviewer just quoted Claude at me, I would reply with Claude or ChatGPT.
