Waybe it's save if the maintainer reviews PRs before merging
The problem is they get overwhelmed with these PRs. Godot has been talking about not being able to manage the workload lately, people just task AIs to vibecode fixes to perceived bugs and half of them don’t even do what they were prompted to do.
You can block those users but they just make new accounts
It honestly feels like a DDoS on do it yourself computing, by corporations who want total control over our thoughts.
Slop PRs are submitted by users, not by a Claude bot like this screenshot refers to
I can't wait for the money to dry up. It's insane to me just how stupid people have been, trusting LLMs with anything whatsoever. These things cost so much money to run and they seem to fucking hypnotize investors into burning their money. Sooner or later the fact that they're not making money has to catch up with them, right?
Thank for the explanation! The user in the image is claude itself, not a random anonymuous user. I see the problem of the ddos with issues, tickets etc. that is a real problem! But I don't get the rigid denial of generative ai. As long as I review the code it generates, it can save me lots of time. I would hate the actions you described as well but the image depicts nothing fishy. Am I wrong about this?
And maybe the janitor should sift through that river of diarrhea for the couple of pennies someone might have swallowed.
