God help us all. Current 'revolutionary' AI is an advanced form of Markov chain spam machinery, spewing stuff that sounds like a lot like language but has nothing to do with intelligence...

What about the actual changes they submitted? Nonsense? Something suspicious?

@lufte The couple I checked over before noticing the glaring template-like similarities were basically requesting clarifications to the documentation about certain features, or asking questions about something that was apparently ambiguous in the README.
I could see how those might be a legitimate problem for someone, and improving documentation is never a bad idea in general, but clearly these were not human-made submissions.

I think the goal is to waste your time and compete for your attention. These are built by extreme narcisists who want an audience, and the idea of sticking extensions of themselves into every conversation is extremely gratifying.

Although I wonder if there is a practical reason -- some benefit from cultivating personas that open a lot of issues and participate in many conversations, should one google them. Maybe to gain some privileges somewhere, or creating a background story for some scam.

Huh, got some of these AI spammy issues submitted to my Codeberg projects, as well. [https link] While the contents were somewhat credible, the "adjectivenoun"' usernames and the use of Emoji as punctuation — after every sentence, no less — were clear indication that these could be safely and promptly deleted.
