Pangram flags it clearly as an AI. https://www.pangram.com/history/3b8792d5-c1e4-4f86-95fa-f5ba...

I am not affiliated with pangram.

I have also a weird story to tell that a human did and it is as crazy as this. It happen in 2019 so no LLMs at all.

A person that was hired as an expert in our startup spent more than one week full time working on implementing his solution to the problem we were having. I checked the code after one week to see the progress and was curious how they are implementing an already crazy sounding idea. I found that the whole week was spent re-implementing in python, python's built-in "float" function. That was it, the whole code was just that.

Our problem was related to financial services and their implementation of "float" was not even correct.

It's funny you mention this, I've worked for financial type systems where they spend considerable time removing any floats the from the code base.

I'll leave it up to the reader to figure out why this may be important.

Jesus Christ... and then?

What happened to him? What was the conclusion? Did he get paid?

of course he got paid.

that is the deal for an employee, you put in the hours, you get a check.

today, this individual is CTO- Vibecoding at Uber.

ah. when you wrote „hired as an expert“, I misread it as him being a contractor.

nevermind

But AI is only able to get you through those already easy first 90-99%. The hard and most time-consuming part of getting to 100% is still there, and AI does not help or make us more productive achieving that, in my opinion.
