in reply to winnie, the disassembling bear • • •I can set different filter levels, but in this case the first submission they did was not obviously rubbish so nobody would have filtered it out without closer inspection. I did not either.
We have to remember language barriers and cultural differences. Sometimes it takes a little back and forth before the real details reveal. I cannot just immediately shout AI just because they phrase themselves oddly.

Oof, I can smell ChatGPT from a mile away 😂 Crazy how they've just kept it in, even though it makes it seem like they're addressing themselves in the third person 🤦🏻♂️

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •the TL;DR I got from this is:
- strcpy might cause a buffer overflow
- there is bounds checking
- yes but that might not be sufficient
- can you show an example where it's not sufficient
- *insert example where bounds checking is sufficient*
Very clear that whatever AI was used cannot understand code at all, huh?

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •that's quite obviously a LLM (looks very much like it and GPTzero says 91% likely), but does anyone know why people do that?
I'm legit curious if that's just someone "having fun" hooking up the ChatGPT API to a bot, or if there's actually a financial goal behind that. I can see this being useful to give credibility to a Reddit account but here, they're not gaining anything at all
