@matt I wish there were a way to wave a magic wand and make GenAI go away *except* for something like this and perhaps for personal projects.
Accessibility is an area that has been neglected and I can't begrudge anybody looking to a tool that helps them fix some of these problems.
But, from where I'm sitting, *almost* all of the impact is negative. Maintainers are being overwhelmed with slop PR/MRs, it's making security response damn near impossible, and as an editor who covers FOSS... ugh.
We're getting multiple pitches per day that are for slopped-together projects, with the pitches "written" by LLMs and just thrown out in bulk by somebody's agent. (I honestly am never quite sure if I'm even replying to a human, when I reply.)
And we're getting author pitches that are more often than not clearly LLM-written. And I have to eye any new author with suspicion. Our subscribers won't be very happy if we wind up publishing LLM-written content.
Maybe this is the penance that everybody else is paying for neglecting accessibility.
