They should make a separate mailing list specifically for people who use AI, to concatenate their results and boil it down to something manageable for a human to review.
It's like having a porch light a few feet away from the door to attract all the moths so they don't come inside whenever you open the door.
Why do you think the kind of obnoxious cunt who uses an LLM to spam a Linux mailing list would voluntarily use another? AI-bros, as a rule, do not respect others.
Maybe force it some way, I don't know. Find a backend software solution. Figure a way to programmatically identify when AI was used and automatically route it somewhere else? Or force them to fill out a dropdown menu saying whether AI was used or not?
You're telling me the Linux Foundation can't engineer a viable software solution?
If it were that easy, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Education wouldn’t be under attack, social media wouldn’t be flooded with bots. LLM detection is incredibly unreliable and anyone saying they’ve cracked it is selling snake oil. There are techniques for image diffusion that are holding up currently but text is another story.
Checking a dropbox again relies on these chucklefucks being honest and decent and respectful people which they fundamentally aren’t.
I get it - like an AI summary!
It's easy, we create a problem with AI, and the best solution is to use even more AI, and when everyone is dependant on it to manage digital infrastructure that used to function for decades, then we raise the price.
Maybe they could use an LLM to make a summary of the results!
Ideally, If the AI was truly any good at finding the bugs, a well trained AI could give it the ole wheat and chaff action.
we're not there yet.
