@corbet I fear the precedent accepting this kind of thing will establish.
Not only in terms of asymmetric levels of AI slop vs. maintainer resource, but also concerns around social engineering from bad actors (not this doc patch but other recent, clearly AI, series).
Sadly mm is being run in a very chaotic fashion where, without pushback from sub-maintainers, we would just take this kind of thing.
It's very tiring to have to constantly be on alert for that, and I hope at some point the culture will change and we can move away from default-take-everything mode.
Another issue here is that it's often hard to really call out AI even if it really seems like it - if somebody denies it, you don't want it to turn into a witch trial.
As always, many social issues at play :)
