So how do you tell apart AI contributions to open source from human ones?
if it’s undisclosed, it’s obvious from the universally terrible quality of the code, which wastes volunteer reviewers’ time in a way that legitimate contributions almost never do. the “contributors” who lean on LLMs also can’t answer questions about the code they didn’t write or help steer the review process, so that’s a dead giveaway too.
Bad code quality is a myth.
I'm sorry you work at such a shit job
or, I guess, I'm sorry for your teammates if you're the reason it's a shit job
either way it seems to suck for you, maybe you should level your skills up a bit and look at doing things a bit better
