Relevant since we started outright rejecting agent-made PRs in awesome-selfhosted [1] and issuing bans for it. Some PRs made in good faith could probably get caught in the net, but it’s currently the only decent tradeoff we could make to absorb the massive influx of (bad) contributions. >99.9% of them are invalid for other reasons anyway. Maybe a good solution will emerge over time.

    This is one good article. I guess humans are now mostly redundant in open source. Bots can do everything themself, write code, submit PR, merge them and even blog about it. Time to book a place for myself in a graveyard.

      … did you read the same article as everyone else? I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

      Instead of a handful of quality PRs per day, the volume jumped to 20, 50, or more. At first I was happy. Then I started noticing patterns. The quality wasn’t there.

      Blindly promoting the LLMs without checking the source? Bot or human it makes you wonder if your contributions are worth keeping around

        Yes, but in each joke there is bit of truth. Open Source have to change. Open Source code written by LLMs is still open source, but it drastically different from current one.
        Instead of spending time to “scratch the itch and help others in the process” - now people should give money to corps to use LLM to to do same.
