    This feels like an attempt to destroy open source projects. Overwhelm developers with crap PRs so they can’t fix real issues.

    It won’t work long term, because I can’t imagine anyone staying on GitHub after it gets bad.

      destroy open source projects

      I do believe that too. The AIs are stealing all the code and remove the licenses, and the OSI recently classified “binary blobs” as open-source. LLM companies need fresh content and will try anything to steal that.

      It does seem like AI will be way more useful for finding security holes than preventing them.

      The Age of Forks

      Maybe won’t be all entirely too bad or doom… I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.

    Recently some issues were opened on a repo of mine, they confused me at first until I realized it was written by an LLM. Really annoying.

      Creating issues is free to a large number of people you don’t really control, whether that is the general public or some customers who have access to your issue tracker and love AI doesn’t really matter, if anything dealing with the public is easier since you can just ban members of the public who misbehave.
