> Stop treating this like it's going to go away. We need actual solutions for the FOSS community that make reviewing AI assisted work tractable.

I don't think it should be up to reviewers and maintainers to put in the work to figure that one out. You want to "disrupt" the open-source pipeline? Fine, then you must propose a solution for the problems that your disruption is now causing.

Come up with a system so that I, a maintainer, can review a large volume of AI-generated PRs where the contributor often has neither the inclination nor the skills of assessing the quality of what they're proposing.

The system must be effective at preventing me from waste time on very obvious slop, it must also work offline and be free, because most maintainers are unpaid volunteers.

If you can offer that solution, I'm sure more projects would be open to giving carte blanche to AI-authored PRs.
