I wrote more about what actually happened here: https://navendu.me/posts/ai-generated-spam-prs/ It can help set some context to the discussions. TLDR: Recently, a person has been using AI tools to generate code and open pull requests to open source projects I contribute to. The code is entirely wrong and doesn’t work, and it is evident that the person making these pull requests doesn’t understand the code. The person also copied explanations (which was an obvious giveaway as it sounded like a typical <popular AI tool> response) into the pull request and attempted to explain the code and answer questions from the reviewers. We were polite and when it didn’t work, reported the person to GitHub. I don’t want to shame the person publicly. But I want to make other open source maintainers aware that this is a thing and prevent them from wasting time and effort chasing such people down. |
