Slop projects and slop submissions existed before the current crop of AI but it’s certainly lowered the barrier. That said I suspect there are places AI can help. Simple patches, human guided refactores, test cases. We’ll have data points from the projects that turned on the slop cannons and started auto accepting PRs soon enough.

The project I’m working on has had regular discussion about whether we should move from our email list and patch workflow to a more PR focused approach for a number of years now. Something that works for us greybeards is anathema to younger engineers who grew up on GitHub.
I suspect the current slopocolypse is going to delay that move for a few more years until this wave of disruption has settled down.
