It's kind of depressing to read Daniel's article[1] on this issue given the rising "popularity" of these lazy attempts at cash grabbing. I hope they manage to combat the AI slop in a way that does not involve fighting fire with fire though.

I went through some of these and the one that stood out to me was this one

https://hackerone.com/reports/2823554

Where the reporter says, "Sorry didnt mean to waste anyones time Badger, I thought you would be happy about this.".

People using LLMs think they are helping but in reality, they are not.

		There's this very weird idea that makes some people think that the maintainer must have a godawful workflow and if I just showed him the output of _my_ workflow, I can ~~save the day~~ fix a bug for them.

why don’t they just limit the report to 100 chars or something? “Here’s the input, here’s the output, here’s why it sucks”. Easy to make a maybe/no decision at a glance.
