Yes, and that may eventually lead to a more generation-friendly fork to which those desiring said friendliness, or just more features in general, will flock.

I think everyone would appreciate if these people using LLMs to spit out these PRs would fork things and "contribute" to those forks instead.

  • It's a fairly simple matter to reject a PR. And a nice-to-have if they update their contribution guidelines to reflect their preferences.

    • It's also a fairly simple matter to respect the time of the maintainers of software you want to contribute to - by, for example, talking to them before dumping 16,000 LoC in a PR and expecting them to review it.

      Unless, of course, it has nothing to do with actually contributing and improving software.
