This morning I've had three "hey I'd like to work on this" comments on various GitHub issues. Nowadays I have to waste my time looking at the accounts to make sure they're not LLMs or people wanting to use LLMs, and all those 3 were.

One was out and out pretending to be a human; two were doing some AI programming course (CodePath AI301?) and had decided that picking an issue from a project that explicitly disallows LLM contributions would be a good idea.

Fuck *all* of this shit.

@floppy have you come across gh-profiler? It might help you weed out these sorts of contributions 🤞

Onboarding new devs to Manyfold, being able to help them, develop their skills etc, is something I *love* to do, which is why I look at every single one.

But robots pretending to be humans, or humans who have decided that thinking is just so passé are now flooding that zone too.

Everyone who made this stuff can get in the goddamn sea.

And I take the lack of respect shown as a *personal* insult.
