I think the last thing ffmpeg devs want is AI generated bugfixes to their assembly-heavy codebase. What they should do is dedicate time for experienced devs to fix the bugs instead.

    ffmpeg devs can refuse the AI generated bugfixes for all we care. What I'm heading at is if Google is going to spend AI on posting a problem, then they should also post the solution. At their own expense.

    This is a separate problem, but it's still a problem. Many projects have seen a rise in slop PRs. curl is notorious for complaining about AI slop vulnerabilities and patch requests.

    But I think we both agree that Google needs to be doing something more rather than putting the workload entirely on the ffmpeg devs.
