As someone who uses Claude Code daily and is about to publish an open source project, I see both sides. The key insight in this OSSF issue is "human-in-the-loop accountability" — most AI slop PRs fail not because the code is wrong, but because the submitter can't explain what it does. A simple "explain your change in your own words" requirement would filter for understanding and is hard to game with AI alone.
