I think we've all seen where an LLM names a session, issue, or PR based on its early understanding and fails update it later.

AI isn't being asked to review the title, and it doesn't have experience or think, so of course it's not going to flag it.

No human reviews anything anymore so of course they aren't going to catch it.

Edit: AI for as good as it is at "writing" is terrible at writing and particularly at naming things. I had an AI name a client OpenAICompatibleEmbeddingClient. "Brooooo.. I think "compatible" is implied, who names stuff like that?!"

That means that it supports other services with OpenAI-compatible embeddings APIs (not just OpenAI's own API). Seems reasonable!

LLM-based AI is a synthesis of human observed behavior

Descriptive type names are a good thing. Id argue that one isnt that bad, but llms do take it to another level sometimes.
