The dialog was something to read. Doesn’t sound like ai but rather something a developer has practiced for years and no one has challenged the dev on this, until now.

Also, there is discussions on what a commit message should contain, apparently the patch had user guidance in the commit message. Literally on how to install dependencies such as gcc using pacman, in the commit message.

const int EIGHT = 8 lol

I really doubt any AI (even some small local models) would actually generate something like this :)

I dont see problem with user manual in commit as long as reasoning for the commit is clearly written
