Hear, hear!
I've been proclaiming this exact point as part of my "Resurrecting the Dead" talk.
Code review of GenAI PRs is no longer about training the next generation of potential maintainers, making it just a time sink, sucking the joy out of being a maintainer.
Well done AI companies.
OSS can't survive without community, so destroying the communities is a great step towards destroying open source (in favour of the AI closed garden where tokens costs 100x what they do now)....

@jrf_nl@phpc.social @elazar@phpc.social The fact that AI can’t learn is one of the worst parts about using it. There are certain things that are so prevalent in the training data that any amount of “memory” files stressing the importance of doing things a certain way will not overcome the tendency to follow what it was trained on. One of those things is using commas instead of concatenation operators in PHP echo statements.
