I’m curious to know what the quality rate was like before AI. Anecdotally, my marginally popular repo got a few PRs, but many of them were pretty much garbage as well. No tests, broken tests, half baked code. Human written didnt mean good

Slop has existed before AI but it has lowered the barrier to generating it. Having no AI policies isn’t really working because the slop posters don’t declare it and as a reviewer you don’t want to be second guessing a potential contributor. We are probably going to move to a policy that allows narrow use of AI tools but emphasises human understanding and ownership as mandatory components of contribution.
