Curious to know if others are seeing a similar uptick in AI slop in issues or PRs for projects they are maintaining. If yes, how are you dealing with this?
Some of the software that I maintain is critical to container ecosystem and I'm an extremely paranoid developer who starts investigating any github issue within a few minutes of it opening. Now, some of these AI slop github issues have a way to "gaslight" me into thinking that some code paths are problematic when they actually are not. And lately AI slop in issues and PRs have been taking up a lot of my time.

- Aurornis 11mo agoI haven’t seen anything obvious, even including the other repos where I look through issues a lot. Maybe it’s only the really popular and buzzword-y repos that are targets? In my experience, the people trying to leverage LLMs for career advancement are drawn to the most high profile projects and buzzwords, where they think making PRs and getting commits will give them maximum career boost value. I don’t think they spend time playing in the boring repos that aren’t hot projects.
