> I didn’t like the second part though where it starts banning people for “bad behavior”. I think you failed to notice the ban would be a reaction to recurrent bad behavior, such as ignoring maintainer requests. What's your solution to handle accounts which spam projects with nonsense PRs? > get that AI resistance will be a thing in the next few years (...) This is a very lazy opinion to express. If you pay attention to the post you're replying to, you will notice that the problem isn't AI. The problem is spamming projects with PRs that are meaningless while completely ignoring maintainers. You'd have the same problem if some guy decided to spam the project with a constant barrage of small low-effort nonfunctional PRs.

But there are no maintainer requests. There are is a bot prompted to be obtuse and a while and then reject. What will be happening is that bot will happily talk with your but, but falsely flagged people will be antagonized and eventually angry. > you will notice that the problem isn't AI. The problem is spamming projects with PRs that are meaningless while completely ignoring maintainers. What I noticed is that this is literally what AI companies encourage. This is intended use of AI.

  > But there are no maintainer requests. You should really read the comments you are replying to. The whole point of the proposal is to provide actionable feedback to the people operating these drive-by PR bots, and kick out repeat offenders to prevent them from generating noise. > What will be happening is that bot will happily talk with your but, but falsely flagged people will be antagonized and eventually angry. I think you're trying too hard to come up with imaginary scenarios. Also, keep in mind that the objective is to steer contributions to be aligned with the project goals and help maintainers not waste time with low-quality noise. The goal is not to impose a fundamentalist militant stance against AI.

    I did read it. It is not a plan to kick repeat offendrs. It is not a plan to give actionable feedback. This plan will kick no bots, because bots dont mind discussion with another bot. However, falsely flagged people will realize they are talking with bot prompted to be obtuse, get annoyed anf then will be banned > the objective is to steer contributions to be aligned with the project goals That was not the objective as stated.
