I’m sure the case could be made before a more focussed project, but I think this is orthogonal to bad (or stupid) actors using AI to overwhelm bug reporting channels.
The issue highlighted in the article is people using AI to invent security problems that don’t exist. That doesn’t go away, no matter much you stripped down or simplify the project.
I’d bet an AI writing tool will happily generate thousands of realistic looking bug reports about a “Hello World” one-liner.

I guess you are saying that we should build another tool, or fork curl and then remove non-http stuff. Then the world should transition from curl oneliners to, say, qurl oneliners.
