"who said that LLM-generated PRs for Godot are a "massive time waster for reviewers ... changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes ... it's a total shitshow." A comment noted that the Blender 3D design project is facing the same issue and has recently proposed an AI contributions policy, following others including the Linux Foundation, Fedora, Firefox, Ghostty, Servo and LLVM."
""This platform incentivizes this kind of behavior," said one; and another that it "is just exhausting to watch all this play out and GitHub promoting this, not fighting it." Linux distro Gentoo is in the process of migrating from GitHub to Codeberg thanks to "continuous efforts to force Copilot usage for our repositories." One project, the self-hosting toolkit Coolify, has created an Anti Slop GitHub Action, which its developer claims "could have closed 98 percent of slop PRs.""
Maintainers of Godot report an influx of AI-generated pull requests that are low-quality and demoralizing. LLM-generated PRs often contain nonsensical changes, verbose descriptions, and contributors unaware of their own edits. Similar problems appear in Blender and other projects, prompting policies from several organizations. Some blame GitHub for incentivizing AI-generated contributions. Gentoo is migrating away from GitHub over Copilot concerns. Tools like Coolify's Anti Slop GitHub Action aim to filter low-quality PRs, while maintainers appeal for more funding to hire reviewers to handle the extra workload.
