I'm mostly concerned about bug reports and such written by these bots. 

My pragmatic stance is: As long as your code works and doesn't overcomplicate things, I don't see that much of an issue.

My more idealistic stance is banning these tools KDE wide because of how unethical they can be, and how bad they can be from ecological sense.

Anyway, I just want get rid of the AI slop spam, be it code or bug reports: the lengthy SEO'd messages with useless information in them.
