This is what happened with FFMpeg when Google was trying the same thing to promote their models. If the code is good, and doesn't put unnecessary burden on the reviewer, then that's great. But when the patches are sloppy or the reviews are overwhelming, it doesn't help the project, it hinders it.

It's almost like there should be a human in the loop to guide and review what the ai is doing.

The thing works a lot better when I give it smaller chunks of work that I know are possible. Works best when I know how to implement it myself and it just saves me from looking up all the syntax.
