I have, and I have declined them all. Prompting an LLM and pointing it to somebody else's repo is not helpful, it's distracting and disrespectful, and also delusional to think that it helps the maintainers.

For a couple of bucks I can drown my own repos in low quality slop, so I don't need some well wishers to do it for me.

As a matter of fact I have yet to see an OSS maintainer that accepts AI generated slop MRs.

If you can't code, don't code and try to contribute to OSS projects. Claude or whatever trash one uses to make this outburst of garbage is not a substitute for skills. Don't waste mainteners' time and attention.

I have. Now what?

Reject anything made in bad faith and humor anything in good faith, as is everything

It can be hard to tell the difference in the workplace sometimes. Especially with juniors.

Prepare a test suite and lint file to ensure some quality control.

I absolutely have. I also wrote "One example I've seen" and "Common examples I see" so you either don't believe me or you didn't read what I wrote.

It's not 100% automated. The worst I've seen so far is 98% AI generated code from a real person. They write and submit the MR comment.
