Two pieces of coverage discuss findings from reports and a Linux Foundation survey on how generative AI is being used to review code and accelerate pull request processing. The reports cite an increase in pull requests merged without human line-by-line review and also find that AI-generated submissions can raise the volume of low-quality “AI slop,” prompting projects to consider clearer GenAI policies and better pull request management tools.
