I'm seeing it quite a lot on mastodon where maintainers from big projects, like even curl, are expressing their grief and annoyance with ai generated bug reports wasting their time and overwhelming them. I don't think it's an isolated incident.

That's completely different though. I've seen (legitimate) complaints that AI-generated reports are popping up and swamping projects while adding little to no value, but that's not killing the projects. This article is solely about Tailwind, where the developer asserts that LLMs are responsible for people no longer reading the project's documentation, which then is where the project directs users to its paid tiers and so (they allege) the project is suffering an unsustainable drop in subscriptions.

A project's premium subscriptions drying up is different from a project's developers being hit with time-wasting bug reports.
