I want to see some projects experiment with a "refundable deposit" model for issues and PRs

If it's slop, the maintainers get paid adequately to deal with it. If it's not, it doesn't cost the human anything in the long run

    How do you prove it is slop? I agree it is something one often can identify, but how does one prove it?

    Genuinely wonder :)

    Yeah, I like the idea, but those models are pretty good at parroting desirable text styles. It might become a game of whack-a-mole to identify the slop unfortunately 🫤

    I think you missing the point: we don't want slop - as in low quality code. It does not matter if it is an AI or a Human created slop.*

    *: just considering the project side, not the enironmental, and ethical side.

    The problem is not identifying AI slop, the problem is wasting an already limited time on a PR which seems legit until you deep dive and find that it is utterly terrible. And multiple it with a large number of PR-s because the barrier of entry to create a slop is 0.
