Not the parent, but can I ask why people are downvoting this?

On the one hand: yes, it's short and it's snarky

On the other hand: I feel like this is a legit use case for AI. ChatGPT is polite to the edge of obsequiousness and there has definitely been times when I wanted to say "No" but didn't want to lash out at the person - getting an AI to put together a first draft of a polite "No" is incredibly useful and a great starting point. If nothing it reduces the amount of time I spend agonizing over "Is this email ok? Is it at least reasonable?"

Probably because people here think that support requests are not always wrong. When I use a public open source project and I run into a bug, yes, I will request for a fix. I won't insult anyone for not doing it, though, I know I am not entitled to anything, when I did not pay for support, but I do not want my time to be wasted by talking to an AI. Just say no, if you don't want to fix bugs and maybe just make that plain on the project page. And those idiots who demand things can just be ignored/blacklisted (they often assume btw. that their company is paying for professional support, like they are for proprietary software).

You are also not entitled to a human response.

Only if that is made plain on the project/download page. The human social default and expectation is a human response. Also in OSS.

I do this for some code review comments where I want to say “what the actual fuck are you doing here. This makes absolutely no sense.” And I get a super nice output that needs very little tweaking.
