I can’t believe we’re doing this again. It’s just a bot that generates the text you ask it for. If you put it in charge of critical decisions, it will kill people. Not because it’s secretly evil, but because it’s a word generator. It’s like putting your toaster in charge of air traffic control.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Filing pull requests containing unreflected AI slop leads to frustration on both sides.

For effective contributions, AI isn’t going to relieve you from the hard part. LLMs pretend to work for you but all they do is generating content.

Post major is always a weird time for me. I am exhausted from the pressure of getting the release out and, at the same time, anxious on which problems the community will find.

Regardless, please keep the feedback coming. Spring Boot gets better with the help of its community!
