Rsync is reportedly causing backups to fail since maintainer began AI code experiment

"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.
Involving LLMs is not the problematic part, it's having them write code that the maintainer doesn't understand. Finding issues, suggesting optimizations, helping to write comments or commit messages are all perfect uses of LLMs for critical tools like rsync.
Sounds like the real issue is funding for the maintainers though.
