"Why should I bother to read something someone else couldn't be bothered to write?"
There's a Grim New Expression: "AI;DR"
The slang is a sign of how overrun the internet is with AI slop — and how the real humans using it are fed up.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."
And.
Yup.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Before and After. Been thinking about taking this CRT in for repair for the last couple years (foldover), putting it off because there's not many CRT repair shops left, and lugging it in would be a pain. Decided to finally fix it myself, and hey what do you know, didn't kill myself, works great.

We find ourselves having to second guess every PR from new contributors, multiple times per day:
- The description is verbose LLM output, is the code written at least partially by a human?
- Does the "author" understand the code they're sending?
- Did they test it? Are the test results made up?

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.
If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Trump can’t pardon election felon Tina Peters for state crimes, so he’s squeezing Colorado instead—moving Space Command, canceling $100 mn in grants, and vetoing a clean-water pipeline. This type of presidential coercion threatens federalism and rewards election misconduct, this CATO paper argues.
