A coworker opened a PR full of AI slop. One of the first things I do is check if the tests pass. Of course, the didn't. I asked them to fix the tests, since there's no point in reviewing broken code.

"Fix the tests." This was interpreted literally, and assert status == 200 got changed to assert status == 500 in several locations. Some tests required more complex edits to make them "pass."

Inquiries about the tests went unanswered. Eventually the 2000 lines of slop was closed without merging.

After a certain point the response to low effort vibe code has to be vibe reviews. Failing tests? Bad vibes, close without merging. Much more efficient than vibe coding too, since no AI is needed.
