What is the deterministic alternative you suggest?

I’m not endorsing this release practice in particular, it scares me. But I have been involved in a lot of automation projects where perfection was the initial goal, and then abandoned because it was obvious that non-automated work was so imperfect. Human error is a fact of life.

I am a DevOps Engineer, all the thing that he described in the prompt can be just done by Github Actions except the summary of the PR.

I don't condemn using LLM, but at least they could have use it in order to write better Github Actions instead.

If you really have to use an IA, at least use it to generate code once and use that. This way it's deterministic and you get a chance to understand what happens and to debug issues.

Not sure why IA could create something you couldn't however. And at least understanding what happens if part of the bundle.

The sibling comment from M4v3R covered this well.

Did it? I didn’t see a claim that doing this work manually had a zero error rate.

Again, I would probably not do this. But let’s not pretend that non-AI release processes prevent all issues. We’re really talking different kinds of errors, and the ai driven ones tend to be obviously wrong. At least right now.

What I didn’t say was that “all devops release pipelines that use traditional scripted approaches are error free”.
