Godot Engine suffering from lots of "AI slop" code submissions

The open-source Godot Engine is being inundated with low-quality code contributions generated by artificial intelligence, forcing maintainers to spend precious resources filtering out unusable submissions instead of advancing the free game development platform. The flood of "AI slop"—buggy, often nonsensical code produced by large language models—has become so severe that it's threatening the volunteer-driven project's ability to function, raising urgent questions about whether open-source communities can survive the era of generative AI. What started as a efficiency promise has become a tax on human expertise, forcing some of the internet's most vital tools to reinvent their gatekeeping just to stay operational.
