ai slop

Just had to spend 30 mins debunking an AI slop issue+PR on a project of mine that falsely claimed the existence of a bug that caused a panic.

The example they provided:

- Did not even compile
- Did not panic even when fixed to compile
- Did not even demonstrate the claim being made

The PR they provided:

- Did not fix any issue
- Contained a boatload of meaningless unit tests with exactly no purpose

I'm so fucking tired of these bullshit machines poisoning the well of open source.
