I wonder whether the motivation is really legal? I get the sense that some projects are just sick of reviewing crap AI submissions

This could honestly break open source, with how quickly you can generate bullshit, and how long it takes to review and reject it. I can imagine more projects going the way of Android where you can download the source, but realistically you can't contribute as a random outsider.

I have an online acquaintance that maintains a very small and not widely used open-source project and the amount of (what we assume to be) automated AI submissions* they have to wade through is kinda wild given the very small number of contributors and users the thing has. It's gotta be clogging up these big projects like a DDoS attack.

*"Automated" as in bots and "AI submissions" as in ai-generated code

I find that by being on codeberg instead of github i tune out a lot of the noise.
