Also seems to consist of directly AI adjacent topics from a quick skim

This surprised me as well when I wrote the paper! I started data collection for the AI assisted repositories on May 1, 2025 which is the release data of claude code. The reasoning behind this is noted in the paper but can be broken down to, it would be easier to find a large quantity of AI repositories after vibe coding took off. The majority of these repos being AI adjacent topics was an interesting find, but supports the idea that a large chunk of our LLM advancements are being helped by LLMs.

		When I suspect an agent opening a PR I check their GitHub activity. They have usually opened dozens of PRs. Most of them are ignored, high profile packages close them, and AI related projects blindly merge them. They also tend to create dozens of private repos and commit to them non-stop.
