No, they haven't. Read the ai slop you posted carefully.

It's a policy update that enables maintainers to ignore low effort "contributions" that come from untrusted people in order to reduce reviewing workload.

An Eternal September problem, kind of.

Didn't you just restate what the parent claimed?

  • No, that's not at all the same thing: ai-generated contributions from people with a track record for useful contributions are still accepted.

    • Right. AI submissions are so burdensome that they have had to refuse them from all except a small set of known contributors.

      The fact that there’s a small carve out for a specific set of contributors in no way disputes what Supermancho claimed.

    • Yes, but technically no different than "good contributions from humans are still accepted, AI slop can fuck off".

      Since the onus falls on those "people with a track record for useful contributions" to verify, design tastefully, test and ensure those contributions are good enough to submit - not on the AI they happen to be using.

      If it fell on the AI they're using, then any random guy using the same AI would be accepted.
