This isn't an AI problem this is a human one.

Blaming it on the tool, and not the person's misusing it trying to get his name on a big os project, is like blaming the new automatic in the kitchen and not the chef for getting a raw pizza on the table.

OP is not blaming the AI - did you read the post? AI does enable shitty humans to open PRs with code they have no comprehension of, wasting precious time donated by a skilled maintainer. That is a new thing that wasn’t possible without AI.

Using AI to generate code in a PR does not necessarily mean however that the user has not taken time to understand the changes and is not willing to learn. There are AI users who generate whole files without understanding the contents, and then there are AI users who generate the exact same files but have known in advance what they want, and merely use AI as a tool to save typing.

The intention here seems to be to filter out low quality submissions for which the only purpose is to only pimp Github resume for having contributions in highly starred repo. Not sure if the people doing that will be disclosing use of AI anyway.

Sorry, I can't see how your comment is a reply to my comment. I said AI enables shitty humans to do this. I didn't say everyone using AI is a shitty human or whatever it is you took away from that.
