"I am really really starting to struggle with this. On some repositories whats happening looks like collective irrationality on steroids. Im not sure what is happening but it cant be healthy. Even the issue reports are now AI slop. If you took a list of PRs today and showed it to me 5y ago without any context I'd think that somehow everyone got learning disabilities. And that's insulting to people with learning disabilities because they're actually perfect while these PRs are by deeply flawed people.
