I get these. I reject them basically like "look, you made Claude edit 2000 lines of code and now you want it to be my responsibility... No." I'm not saying no

I get these. I reject them basically like "look, you made Claude edit 2000 lines of code and now you want it to be my responsibility... No."
I'm not saying no AI, but just a large volume of crap for something that could have taken like 10 lines has always been an instant no.
The problem is I accept it then 18 months later you're off somewhere else and there's a bug so now it's my bug. The PR has to be small or else it's a no.
Doing this with AI is no different
- felipeerias 2mo agoUltimately, it is a governance problem. Communities need to set strong rules and expectations to reject and prevent those large useless drive-by contributions, which aim to extract more value from the project than they provide to it. Banning all (or nearly all) AI uses creates this strange "don't ask don't tell" situation where valuable contributors are not allowed to discuss the tools that they are using.
- Tanjreeve 2mo agoThe vast majority of projects don't care what IDE people use either. But the difference is to use AI well you need context files and other artifacts in the project. So now the project is having to support the additional markdowns and make sure those are still working for Claude/cursor ecosystems etc.
- xenodesire 2mo agoThe technical debt in these projects that are widely accepting this type of AI contribution scares me a lot. In a few years, we’re going to suffer the consequences of this.
