My god, had someone send in a merge request with utter garbage, with Claude describing some nonsensical "root cause" as to why a function didn't work. Claude made two changes:

• If the current scheme failed, use an entirely different scheme it claimed the software supports that does not work and was never documented as a way to work.
• If that scheme fails, swallow the error and don't report the problem, leaving the problem silently in place but out of the user's view at least for a short while. This is actually the change that 'fixed' the problem.

So I needed to know the debug data for what really went wrong, but the submitter got all pissy and said Claude already sorted it out and why can't I just accept their slop merge request as-is, refusing to believe that all it did was catch and silently drop any and all errors associated with the code instead of fixing it. Wouldn't run the procedure I stated would show them they had messed up data as a result of their 'fix'.

Just complete the AI slop trough and copy and paste the ticket back into Claude to fix and open an MR and then have Claude review it and merge and then when there is a bug repeat the process.

I honestly don't know what people are thinking, both employees and employers when people start copy pasting LLM shit. Why do I need you if all you are is a glorified macro? I strongly suspect the human is there to be the fall guy when the LLM invariably does something really stupid.

Work slop! Just love people using LLMs to hand the heavy lifting over to me.

The fabled meat proxies.

Honestly, this isn't even an AI issue, people have been doing that long before AI became a thing

Getting a ticket "I need you to change blah" and the request is either nonsense or "fixes" something unrelated to what the user is actually experiencing, but they're so sure they know

This weirdly is way worse when you support technical teams, it makes it pretty clear how much Dunning Kruger is going around in IT... But yeah, AI is making it so much worse

I don’t even get tickets. I get tagged into a slack thread full of slop trying to guess why I am here and what I’m supposed to do.

I have narrowed the containment of the isolation.
Now I’m verifying the resolution path of the indicators.
Permission to accumulate the resolution of the transformation.

I know what all of those words mean individually…

At least Claude is half right half the time unlike normal users who just say it broke fix it and refuse to fucking elaborate.

I'll take the slop machines bullshit over normal users fucking nonsense.

At least I cant be mad the machine isn't using fucking critical thinking.
