"AI coders submitting 25 PRs within an hour of an issue being filed, GitHub bears the brunt of that....".

What "brunt"? These are not large numbers.

Before AI coding, a GitHub issue might get one or two PRs after six months.

AI coding has made this orders of magnitude bigger.

The individual numbers are small, but they add up quickly.

Maybe I am really dense, but a single issue getting 2 vs 25 PRs seems to be no practical difference.

[jedberg]

Well two in six months vs 25 in one hour. So that's a 54,000x increase.

But also, each PR kicks off a bunch of CI work, often in GitHub Actions.
