This is actually the opposite of what Zeitgeist tries to measure. Most opinion mapping assumes people are writing, but here we see automated content flooding the pipeline.
How do you even measure "public opinion" when bots are the majority voice? The real question isn"t whether AI can pass the CONTRIBUTING.md gate — it is that the gate is meaningless anyway.
I keep wondering if we need completely different signals for human discourse. Not more gates, but things like: did someone spend time actually reading the issue first, did they reference specific parts of the PR, did they have a back-and-forth exchange that reveals actual thought.
