My friend Matt Seddon was doing some open source work and found a huge amount of spam from some sort of LLM project.
https://github.com/sankalp112kashyap/SoftwareCode-Debloat-LLMs/issues/3
It's "debloating" projects, but the "debloating" seems to be doing things like, you know, just undoing all the linting because that reduces lines of code:
https://github.com/Textualize/rich/pull/3669/files
It looks like all the OS maintainers are being spammed so the LLM folks can get research data or something

Thank you, GenAI!
