This is absolutely insane. If you look at joelreymonts recent activity on GitHub, there is what I would consider an bomb of AI slop PRs with thousands and thousands of changes, AI generated summaries/notes, copyright issues, you name it.
People like this are ruining open source for the rest of us, and those poor maintainers really have their work cut out for them sorting through this slop.

Reminds me of Blindsight by Peter Watts. Aliens viewed our radio signals as a type of malware aimed to consume the resources of a recipient for zero payoff and reduced fitness. This is the same.
