Ask HN: Is answering GitHub issues with AI without declaring it a big deal? I'm currently using the Mindwtr app to manage tasks, it's great and cross platform and all. However I wanted to propose a feature and I looked at the issues and got a bit weirded out by the tone, and it's clear to me they are using an AI to write their responses, but even more intesting it seems also fully automated. Things like saying to someone having the contributor tag on GitHub (and who also seems writing using an LLM) "Great breakdown — you've clearly looked at the codebase." after they provided input on a feature You can see the thread here and many more examples in the repo: https://github.com/dongdongbh/Mindwtr/issues/361 Right now I'm a bit torn, the app works well, it's open source, but at the same time I don't feel like it's okay to do this, I see it a bit like abandoning a project to the whims of the LLM. So, would you keep using this app or not ? And why ? |
