Our Commentary ​

This hits home. We've seen this ourselves, the confident inaccuracy of AI-generated bug reports. It's a real challenge for maintainers. I genuinely don't know how to feel about agents churning away at 3am while nobody's watching, generating these reports. It feels like we're adding a new layer of noise to an already noisy system.
