"AI is being used to open fake feature requests in open source repos, according
to some maintainers. So far, AI-driven issues have been reported in Curl,
React, CSS and Apache Airflow.

It’s not known how widespread the issue might be, but it’s bad enough that
maintainers are speaking out about it. Jarek Potiuk is a committer and PMC
Member of Apache Airflow, an open source platform that allows users to design,
schedule, and monitor data pipelines. Potiuk went public about the AI-submitted
requests on LinkedIn last week and spoke with TNS about his experience."
