you forgot to mention that this person is also recommending OSS maintainers pony up for AI to literally fight AI spam. Huh???? So now OSS maintainers who already don't get enough donations have to spend it on AI for contributors whose code is so bad that it's recognizable on AI? It'd be better to just not have contributions at all!
