Even projects on other repo systems have shut down. Too many AI submissions for them. LLMs are integrated so deeply into certain IDEs that some developers I’ve seen literally did not know they were using them (no, they couldn’t tell me why they thought writing a prompt in the IDE wasn’t hitting an LLM).
It’s a systemic issue that GitHub exacerbates but it’s by no means limited to it.
Microslop is one step ahead and has an online editor with Copilot integrated into it. That makes the chance of getting an LLM assisted or written PR even higher. Knowing Microslop, hey will go even further and have Copilot activated on all active repos, submitting PRs - and CoPilot will be opt-out
I mean, using an LLM inherently asks you to not think and the kind of person to use them, intentionally or not, is obviously not the smartest cookie in the toolbox
Ironically, github is a bit better at detecting the slop (for now) since the default settings put claude et al as co-collaborators on commits or the project itself.

I wouldn’t put it past them.
I can see people not realizing the LLM autocomplete was an LLM. But not the prompting.
And even then, that’s some fancy ass autocomplete if it’s not LLM powered…

This statement is so banger for 2026 that I’m asking for permission to quote it.
It’s adapted from something my grandma used to say. You’re fully welcome to it

Only if they’re contributing through GitHub and not through local AI coding apps like Opencode or Claude CLI
