- Vincent Driessen discovered Microsoft used an AI-generated version of his famous Git branching model diagram without attribution.
- The AI version was poorly executed, with errors like misaligned elements and nonsensical text ('continvoucly morged').
- Driessen expressed disappointment not in the reuse of his work, but in the lack of care and process behind Microsoft's version.
- He highlighted concerns about the growing trend of AI-generated content that obscures plagiarism.
- Driessen called for proper attribution and transparency about how the flawed diagram was published on Microsoft's Learn portal.
