Hi Goffi,

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. I'll do the survey myself.

Please do step back from this if you're near burn-out. It isn't that nobody sees an issue. Others have said the concern is real, and so have I. We're disagreeing about the mechanism. That argument can go on without you carrying it.

Also: you've seen AI-assisted submissions and you're explicitly not calling them slop. That's useful, and it suggests we have some time.

Kind regards,

Guus

No I'm not. I'm already at the edge of burn-out and can't cope with anything
more.

Our editor/council chair said twice that he won't continue if we start to see
too much AI slops in our inbox, and we do start to see submission made with AI
(I don't qualify them as "slop" at all for the moment, but I already feel the
AI impact).

We regularly see FOSS projects and other organisations complaining about the
wave a slop PRs.

I think that this is a potential problem, and it's better to anticipate ( I
think the English proverb is "better safe than sorry", but for this one I
like more the French "Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir").

If nobody else see an issue there, so just let it be. I have neither the time
nor the energy to fight in endless debates for a simple suggestion to disclose
AI use.

Best,
Goffi_______________________________________________
