This is exactly the wrong approach! Funnel even more money away from productive tasks and into AI? Madness![1]

The only viable solution is being quick with a banhammer - maybe someone should start up a spamhaus type list of every github user who submitted AI slop.

Force them to burn these accounts on the very first spam.
