> constantly see spamming AI bots that send zillions of useless or poor-quality PRs to OSS. I see PRs that add features, but are really huge, making maintenance even harder in the future without the help of AI

Is there a possibility of using automation to fix this very issue? Before you admonish me of burning more carbon to address output of burnt carbon, hear me out.

For example: if these PRs are on GitHub, then we have a set of actions that:

- run a regression test suite to ensure there are no net new bugs.

- Then it verifies whether the PR has high quality tests for the feature they're implementing

- runs a suite of complexity, readability, security tests and gathers metrics about them, automatically closing poor quality PRs and even blocking accounts that submit them?

I argue these automation are great to have for any project - those that have AI contributions or not.

> consume a full 1.5% of the world’s total energy production in order to eliminate jobs and replace them with a robot that lies

From my perspective, this is an extremely reductive view of AI. My view is that we are fundamentally undergoing a shift in knowledge work and these are all costs that will bear fruit for decades to come.

Imagine freeways being built on barren land. In decades to come it will bear fruit entire new cities and farms. Right now all that construction for those freeways in progress alarm anyone thinking of the climate but the farms that will be possible thanks to these freeways will offset the debt and even support the cities around them.
