I've been helping a bit with OWASP documentation lately and there's been a surge of Indian students eagerly opening nonsensical issues and PRs and all of the communication and code is clearly 100% LLMs. They'll even talk back and forth with each other. It's a huge headache for the maintainers.

I suggested following what Ghostty does where everything starts as discussions - only maintainers create issues, and PRs can only come from issues. It seems like this would deter these sorts of lazy efforts.

Why bring politics into this discussion? Edit: that person (or bot) has almost exclusively posted on this website about the current US president. I think it's a waste engaging and I already regret my comment here

This is clearly a bot or a troll.

Heh, reminds me of that free T-shirt contest thing... Submit crap PRs to random FOSS projects for a chance of winning a shirt, what could go wrong?

I mean, if people adopt, I guess they can also flood the discussions with LLM nonsense. But for now it seems like the better solution.

Money for a report and a patch, with convincing test cases, might be worthwhile. Even if a machine generates them.

Why you don’t just put an AI guardian to close or to ask them to change the story. Or shadow ban

Can you elaborate? What does trump have to do with allowing early denial of bad ORs

Reading between the lines a bit, but I think the point is that public ridicule and personal attacks as well a general lack professionalism is a page out of his book.

So I think OP is trying to insinuate POTUS' behavior inspires a general lack of decorum, a la trickle-down dickonomics. Which is a sentiment I can't in good faith disagree with entirely, but it seems like a stretch in this case.
