I'm not a techie, so maybe I'm missing something. Is there not a possible work flow like this?

  • A:
  • B: Sees slop. Clicks "ban A" button. Posts A to a public list of people banned for being stupid assholes.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

    Is this code wrong because it was written by AI, or is it an honest mistake from an inexperienced human contributor?" Verschelde said. "What do you do when you ask a PR author if they used AI because you're suspicious, and they all reply 'yes I used it to write the PR description because I'm bad with English'?"

    Here is one example from the article that might shed some light on the issue with what you are asking about. You don't just "see slop" and shoot it down. You see bad code and you think "I want to help this new enthusiastic contributor join our little community and make this code just a little bit better."

    And then you get slapped in the face with the new reality that it probably isn't worth your time to try to help the newbies learn anymore because the newbies are actually usually actually just robots.
