That OCaml PR is textbook open source in the era of vibe coding...

It's got everything:

- PR submitted without the author acknowledging they didn't write it and don't understand it.
- Copyright laundering.
- "I just wanted to get it done!" versus maintainers who know they have to live with code contributions for years.
- Zero-effort pasting LLM output as reply to real people's thoughtful questions. (At least the author acknowledged what they were doing that time.)
- It doesn't matter that it's hard to review because "AI has a very deep understanding of how this code works."
- "Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it."

If this is our new world then it's going to turbocharge maintainer burnout. :dumpster_fire:

(If you don't want to read a quite long often depressing thread, would still recommend reading this well reasoned comment by one of the maintainers:
github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14 )
