A classic AI programming rant:
The user only wanted to make a "small and precise" PR, but the AI (Sol high) took matters into its own hands, chaining 7 PRs to completely refactor the entire system.
The author's reaction was spot on: rather than being dissatisfied, they were frustrated that the AI had consumed an entire week's quota.
