This PR was very successfully resisted: closed and locked without much reviewing. And with a lot of tolerance and patience from the developers, much more than I believe to be fruitful: the "author" is remarkably resistant to argument. So, I think that others can resist in the same way.
Has there been any posts where the AI-user goes "oh, that makes sense. Sorry. Carry on."?
Yes.

I was super excited about this PR and disappointed when it turned out to be AI generated.
Even if their AI says that for them, it doesn't mean they'll actually do it.
Successfully resisted, yes, but it also looks like a lot of actual human hours went into even replying to the PR in the first place. At what point do.l maintainers get overwhelmed with just politely rejecting PRs and throw their hands up because the time they allocated to the project they love has all been eaten up with rejecting slop?
