A prominent project in which people have a stake in seeing bugs fixed can afford to charge a refundable deposit against reporters.

Say, $100.

If your report is true, or even if it is incorrect but honestly mistaken, you get your $100 back.

If it is time-wasting slop with hallucinated gdb crash traces, then you don't get your money back (and so you don't pay the deposit in the first place, and don't send such a report, unless you're completely stupid, or too rich to care about $100).

If AI slopsters have to pay to play, with bad odds and no upside, they will go elsewhere.
