That quote shows an utter disregard for basic human decency.

It is the responsibility of the person running the coding agent to make sure the resulting PRs are high quality. Putting that on your team mates, or worse, random open source project maintainers on the internet, is the definition of an extractive contribution.

They are probably reacting to the laughable idea that by making PRs 20% better (or whatever), devs will continue to review the code with sufficient rigor to catch even the bugs they're supposedly now preventing. Assuming such rigor was ever present in their work!

Put another way, who are they supposed to hire to tell these low quality PRs apart from the high quality ones? Who even knows how to do something like that?!
