I see plenty of well meaning people use ChatGPT and think they’re being helpful. You’re better off with patience and polite explanation than assuming they’re all cynical/selfish assholes trying to cut corners. Some people just get excited and don’t really think about what they’re doing. It doesn’t excuse the behavior, but you should at least try to explain it to them once. Never know when you might educate someone.

I've seen a variety of approaches used (I'm not usually the one doing the confronting) but I still haven't seen any shame, etc. Which is weird, because it's not like it's one monolithic group? But it's still what I've seen.

It might be that people have their change of heart more privately, of course.

		What are you expecting? Someone to go on the Internet and apologize or otherwise express their genuine shame and desire to change?

I think you can both be right. Someone posting their first slop PR deserves a different response than the spammers.

Unless they lie about it.

		Exactly. Set up guardrails to protect your repos, clearly communicate rules, etc. If someone is a problem, you show them the door.
