I think AI is a huge boon as it reduces the human bottleneck.
AI is a tool that must to be used well and many people currently raising pull requests seem to think that they don't even need to read the changes which puts unnecessary burden on the maintainers.
The first review must be by the user who prompted the AI, and it must be thorough. Only then I would even consider raising a PR towards any open source project.
I think this is still applying old-school thinking to the problem. The solution to the PR problem is probably something closer to an agentic swarm embedded within the repo, which reviews and approves PRs without any human intervention needed. This way both sides are happy.
