Even if this guy were not anti-AI, as the primary maintainer of OS projects, it sounds like he's dealing with a genuine problem.

I feel like these 2 sentences answer what the author is looking for:

> I do not want an LLM-generated novel with chapters, bullet points and emojis, just a simple description of the problem in your own voice.

> If I don't see proof of human involvement, then I'm not interested

If someone goes out of their way to hide it, it probably can't be detected. But the default commit comment and PR writeup styles are pretty distinctive.

Don't blame the people who dislike AI, blame the people producing AI and using it to produce mass amounts of trash. They're the ones poisoning the public well and making all of this distrust necessary

		I didn't blame anyone? I judge whether an article / repo is AI-generated by vibe too. Vibe/intuition is the essential part of our daily lives. It's the #1 think you ask yourself in an interview.

Have you never seen vibe-slopped PRs?
