Seems like reading the code is now the real work. AI writes PRs instantly but reviewing them still takes time. Everything flipped. Expect more projects to follow - maintainers can just use ai themselves without needing external contributions.

Understanding (not necessarily reading) always was the real work. AI makes people less productive because it's speeding up the thing that wasn't hard (generating code), while generating additional burden on the thing that was hard (understanding the code).

Yeah I have always seen PRs from new contributors as having (on average) negative value but being an investment into a hopefully future positive contributor. I don't have that optimism for contributors that start out with AI slop.
