    I want to see some projects experiment with a “refundable deposit” model for issues and PRs

    If it’s slop, the maintainers get paid adequately to deal with it. If it’s not, it doesn’t cost the human anything in the long run

      How do you prove it is slop? I agree it is something one often can identify, but how does one prove it?

      Genuinely wonder :)

        Yeah, I like the idea, but those models are pretty good at parroting desirable text styles. It might become a game of whack-a-mole to identify the slop unfortunately 🫤
