We combat this with, funny enough, AI code review.
Much MUCH stricter structural, consistency, quality, and discovery standards on code through rules and docs. Well defined expectations, stricter testing standards…etc Then let some agents loose on PR review and they catch all sorts of problems. Especially with other AI slop.
Coincidentally, the process of doing all this actually reduces the sloppiness of the slop that we receive, as the AI tools writing this code consume these rules before generating code.
yeah, I really don’t get maintainers that try to put human hours to review PRs that are potentially AI generated. This equation will never balance out. There needs to be a first triaging layer that is automated, only then bring a human in the loop if it’s worth continuing.
