    Basically every system that developers use have the same problem of falling apart. When too many people try to help either for good or ill reasons.

    It says always been a problem as far back as you can go. Developers whoever take 2 seconds to think about the management side of things have known. This has been a problem as far back as you can go.

    This problem has cropped up over the decades over and over again. The solution up to this point has always been ignore it. It will fix itself with time because people are lazy and will eventually get bored.

    Which means that no one has ever actually tried to come up with a real solution. There have been Band-Aids minor efforts shitty attempts. But a good honest effort to deal with the problems that happened when too many people try to help.

    Has never been addressed. And now that AI has functionally removed the ignorant till it goes away. Solution leaving developers all over the world without a real solution.

    The problem is not AI. It’s not people submitting spam reports. The problem is the lack of anyone ever actually trying to make a scalable manageable system for this problem.

    Ai is like rats crawling in through a hole in the floor. They are a problem. They are not the problem. So just trying to talk about this as if AI is the problem misses the actual one and thus makes it harder to find a real solution.

      a real solution.

      How about fixing the bugs so they’re not there to report? That’s the real “unpatched hole in the floor.”

      Another “fight fire with fire” approach is to let agents do the screening for “duplicate report” and also pre-verify / test reports for reproducibility.
