Doubtful.

Based on the linked article I think Gerard would balk at this post, consider the content the exact kind of contribution that people would hate to deal with , and the headline “ceo weasel wording”.

I wrote to him as a comment under his post

> sebstefan: There’s this one from yesterday

> David Gerard: > My experiment harness executes this N times (N=100 for this particular experiement) and saves the results

> That’s just fuzzing but vastly less efficient?

> Also, that’s not the question being asked, is it. It wasn’t “did someone use an AI for anything in open source.”

I'll try to explain it to him but the guy seems pretty full of shit already
