GitHub wants to spam open source projects with AI slop

I've tried a few code review tools at work and while a few suggestions are useful, most have been useless.
-
I made a contribution to a project that is using AI generated reviews and the AI bot gave me something like five or six suggestions, every one of which was wrong in some way or another. Only one of the suggestions was worth considering and the code that it generated to implement that suggestion was bad to the point of being baffling.

Is that Windsurf? My lot have just added that. Keeps suggesting making the path to every target in the build pipeline the same so that they'd overwrite each other, or perhaps implement the worst null-checking code I've ever seen.
The problem with suggesting 99% stupid shit is that I'm going to ignore the 1% that it identified correctly. If it limited itself to trivial syntax errors then it might have quite a useful hit rate, but we already have tools that do that.

It was GitLab Duo.
We definitely have better tools for things like syntax checking and a linter step in the CI/CD pipeline has the advantage of not burning down a whole forest to do its job.
