#Maintainers are drowning in junk bug reports written by machine learning models #ml
“While low-grade and frustrating online materials have been a problem for many years (long before chat bots entered cyberspace), machine learning models have significantly boosted the quantity of illegitimate reports. Even for those who don’t use machine learning models, #developers who #maintain projects must still spend valuable time and resources investigating any potentially valid reports received, including those created by machine learning models. Not only is investigating these junk reports a waste of time, but it may also increase maintainer #burnout and lead to a smaller population of people involved in #security work. If you are a #bug submitter, avoid submitting anything without first having human eyes verifying it.”
