Looks like you're reacting to the Hacker News title here, which is currently " Daniel Stenberg on 22 curl bugs found by AI and fixed"

That's an editorialized headline (so it may get fixed by dang and co) - if you click through to what Daniel Stenberg said he was more clear:

> Joshua Rogers sent us a massive list of potential issues in #curl that he found using his set of AI assisted tools.

AI-assisted tools seems right to me here.

If the title changes, it is still a valid critique of the tools, how they might work, and a possible way of getting them for free.

Also, think about it: of course I read Joshua's report. Otherwise, how could I have known the names of the products he used?

I don't think many people here are interested in how something works. They want to see the headline "Curl developer finally convinced by AI!" and otherwise drop anecdotes about Claude Code etc.

All comments that want to know more are at the bottom.

It’s clear my attempt to keep the gist of what Daniel said while keeping under the title character count didn’t hit the mark.

How would you have worded it?

simonw OP
Always tricky! In this case maybe the following:

Daniel Stenberg on 22 curl bugs reported using AI-assisted security scanners

robhlam
That doesn’t really convey that these bug reports were for real issues and greatly appreciated unlike the slop that Daniel is known for complaining about which I think that’s the real story here.

I will spend longer considering my title next time.

Cheers!
