LLMs have made it so that it takes longer to determine whether content is bad than it takes to make bad content. The solution SHOULD be to demand that people examine the content themselves and turn it into high-quality content, but that’s not going to happen so long as it is possible for anyone to submit pull requests. The only solution that will actually work is to restrict who is allowed to submit content to your projects.
AI agents can trivially send email. I don’t know what the solution is, other than to disallow submissions from people who already have a good reputation with the project. Even that’s not a good solution, because there really isn’t a way to get a reputation that is open to humans, but can’t be easily gamed by bots.

Time to go back to email lists. Anyone can come along sure. But it’s only going to be the most determined.
