Submission + - GitGub to require you accept AI-written Issues (github.com) 1
jddj writes: GitHub (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2F), the Microsoft-owned repository popular with all sorts of open-source projects, is about to require that those project repositories accept Copilot-written issues.
The concerns are that AI-written issues could be numerous, beyond what a project is staffed to handle, perhaps adding millions of issues to a backlog (in that there's _always_ something you could do better), that AI-Written issues will be no better than the AI slop polluting search results, perhaps often hallucinated, and that AI-written issues will become de-facto DoS attacks, as was seen with curl recently.
There is no opt-out, and Copilot is prevented from being blocked by repo managers.
The anger is fierce and widespread, with commenters suggesting that any such feature be opt-in, and that Copilot-generated issues be filterable.
