A pull request is a communication to the project. AI or no AI, a poorly communicated request is a burden. IMHO AI prs are fine as long as the submitter has done the work to refine that communication to make it easy to read and assess.
- LtWorf 1mo agoTrue, the problem is that AI ones are 500x longer and at a first glance look fine, so they waste much more time. Moreover a human contributor can learn and do better in the next PR, while the AI won't, unless the prompt is changed, but the operator won't learn.
- dv_dt 1mo agoA large submission without a breakdown or explanation, or a pass to minimize the code change is junk. The operator can literally ask the ai to compose it better, refactor in to smaller PRs, or do it themself. The annoyance is to have to communicate and enforce expectations to drive by submitters. In the end every project has to figure out what they accept. If, at a glance the PR is drive by junk being thrown over the wall, a response of this doesn't meet our pr submission standards delete, or try again, to me is not overly burdensome.
- owebmaster 1mo agoAI PRs aren't fine. Open a issue and propose a change, the maintainers decide what to do next with their own AI if they want.
