Now that AI has become the main tool used by developers to write code, even in open source environments, it will be how feds will slip in backdoors to applications because nobody is going to review the logic of 20000 lines written by AI in a single commit.

Unless projects completely ban use of AI and only allow small commits, this is going to be inevitable. I’ve been seeing so many applications merging AI slop to their code on github already.
