Why do people do that? Is it fun or something? I've been using AI a lot lately, but ONLY on my personal projects. I've never submitted a single PR to any project with AI. It just feels wrong to be honest.
Probably different reasons to do so. One reason I can imagine is, some users of Ai submitting slop genuinely think they are helping and don't know how bad the situation is.
Or just wanting to have a bunch of PR's in their portfolio
They can't code but want a feature/fix implemented and the dev team is limited?
