2 min readKey summary
The company is retiring its bug bounty program amid an influx of AI-assisted, low-quality submissions.
Commenters say generative AI makes it easy to flood repos with weak or deceptive code changes, raising review overhead.
The issue points to a broader maintenance problem: noisy contributions can overwhelm engineers and reduce program value.
It also signals growing pressure on open-source and platform moderation systems to handle AI spam and low-value PRs.
