Miguel Grinberg rejects AI-generated pull requests

The rise of LLMs is shifting the burden of effort onto open-source maintainers, creating an unsustainable dynamic.

• –Generative AI makes it trivially easy to produce code, leading to a surge of low-effort, "drive-by" pull requests.
• –Maintainers face an asymmetric workload, spending disproportionate time verifying machine-generated slop.
• –Forcing contributors to establish human intent through pre-PR discussions is becoming a necessary defense mechanism.
• –This trend risks alienating passionate developers who code for the challenge, potentially harming the long-term health of the open-source ecosystem.
