I too have started to receive such PRs to review and it’s soul crushing. – I don’t understand what you were thinking here, these changes make no sense to me, could you please be so kind and explain to me why you think this would be an improvement? – I don’t know, the LLM just suggested it.

I maintain a library that is used quite a bit and I had to turn off github issues because AI bots are trying to push reporting security vulns…in a library that has no dependencies. Or AI that is setup to waste time by asking pointless questions that do not pertain to the library. The library is literally two files. Technically 3 if you include the tests. I moved my library over to codeberg recently. So much better of an experience. Its really too bad, I have 15+ years in Github but the AI bots are going to push me out.

What I don’t get is- these people are disingenuous or actually think theyre helping. Helping how? The owner of the repo can submit code to your bullshit machine the exact same way. What value are you producing?
