Makes fake commits, regularly, not suited for release. If something is "kinda hard" it'll claim that it's been "fully implemented and ready for production!" regularly.
Expected Behavior
Real code, if not implemented or placeholder should say so.
Current Behavior
Most recent: Entire 15,000 line commit was total trash. Reduced to 5 lines, and one contained an unsafe string substitution.
False claims about what it has done are regular (~25%)
Have to check constantly if what it's saying is real or hallucinated/made up, good idea anything with all AI, but this one just wastes my time enough that it's not worth using
Actually kinda dangerous for those that might be using AI exclusively and don't code well. Certainly time wasting for those that do. Time is critical for small businesses.
Warnings aren't sufficient and too generic.
Just not cool to release this stuff without heavy guardrails/review by a better model (this is an old claude isnt it? i've seen the behavior before).
I think i pay for this. Right? You have to have an amazon q subscription for this. If i pay for this this sucks, if i don't- releasing free software still comes with SOME responsibility, please do better.
Reproduction Steps
do anything complicated, ask it to implement or build on it.
Possible Solution
Build guardrails - have checks and reviews by a better model, even if shorter and less costly
Heuristics might help a little, like it would've caught that 15,000 line review that was all trash i got, and several others that say "placeholder" when title says "production ready".
Use a better model. I think this is claude 3.5 with not much additions from behavior?
Put a warning up that isn't generic, a real one that this product has been known to magnify what it's actually made
Require reviews, mine bypasses reviews and just goes straight to merge pr
Auto-reviews by copilot? Time-limit them if cost is concern.
This used to happen a few weeks ago where I asked it something it would make the PR, sometimse the code changes worked, sometimes not, yknow regular LLM stuff, but the PR description was where it got absolutely UNHINGED. So me and my friend tested out by making an issue titled "q is stupid" and typing "/q dev" in a comment. I kid you not, this was the PR description:

What did it actually do, you ask? it made a hello world banner. For even more laughs, we made it review itself, and it pointed everything it itself did wrong:

Review Summary
This PR implements a "Hello World" banner feature but contains several critical issues that prevent it from working correctly and introduce security risks.
Critical Issues Found:
Layout Inconsistency: The CSS layout calculations don't match the actual banner implementation, causing spacing issues
Environment Inconsistency: The banner is conditionally rendered in JSX but CSS adjustments are always applied
Security Risk: Browser support checks are bypassed in test environments, potentially allowing unsupported browsers to run
Error Handling: Verification scripts lack proper error handling and will crash on missing files
Key Problems:
The banner uses absolute positioning but the body-wrapper height calculation still subtracts the banner height
Test environment detection bypasses critical browser compatibility checks
Inconsistent behavior between test and production environments
Recommendation:
The implementation needs significant fixes before it can be safely merged. The security implications of bypassing browser support checks are particularly concerning and should be addressed immediately.
You can now have the agent implement changes and create commits directly on your pull request's source branch. Simply comment with /q followed by your request in natural language to ask the agent to make changes.
It also kept trying to fix pipeline issues AFTER the PR was closed, and it was just so dumb but hilarious and we kept it installed. Half the time in these PR revisions it just pushed empty commits which was hilarious as well.
Well, it was a good idea to keep it around! Some time ago, maybe a month or less ago, it got an update and it actually started becoming useful. The PRs it made were competent and the descriptions weren't absolutely whack. It also stopped directly copying the issue title for the PR it made.
