Interesting to see the rise of ChatGPT-enabled Github spam.
The screenshots below are from one account, but if you search a bit it's very easy to find other examples.
Github doesn't appear to be on top of this at all, e.g., the account mentioned in
https://github.com/swarna1101/VeChain-Thor/issues/1 has been spamming repos since last year and hasn't been banned (I reported a bad account once and got no response and nothing happened and haven't bothered since).
