I wonder if the influx of slop contributions can be stemmed by a legal document that makes the contributor legally liable for their submission.

Seems like lawyers have been learning the hard way to be accountable for their slop, perhaps these lessons can be leveraged in the open source community.

    Real "these kids would be very upset if they could read" situation. Who bothers to pick through the whole EULA before submitting?

    Like any open source mass contribution project that's gained too much popularity, you need extra firebreaks in between the Open Submission and Final Product.

    That means adding manpower to submission review, QA, etc, which public projects don't often have.

    Sort of the Achilles Heel of the open source community. AI is just making the vulnerability extra glaring.
