Hello,It seem there is strong evidence that AI wrote TLS code as part of the WHIP patch. It goes without saying why this is bad. Further discussion here: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20053 This patch was pushed without ML review. I think this code should be removed before the FFmpeg release. I include TC in this email for that reason.
The UTF8 dashes are not so much an indication of LLM output but one that it was written with an unusual locale, I'd say.
As for the allegations that the code was seemingly written with one objective in mind, sure, that can be what an LLM does based on prompts, but also what a person does. It would not be the first time someone writes code without thinking of it having to work generically (The amount of API that was made for a single, very specific usecase that had to then be replaced by a more general one is not small).
That said, I agree the changes did look weird in places, so I'm not against reverting them in the release/8.0 branch so we have more time to properly audit it.
