Christophe Pettus: Stop Using AI to Report PostgreSQL Bugs

Christophe Pettus writes that the PostgreSQL bug-report mailing list has been receiving large batches of AI-generated bug reports, often 10-15 from the same email address, whose quality varies widely: some were as-designed, duplicates, already patched in version 19, or had incorrect diagnoses or fixes. He argues that AI can generate reports far faster than the limited number of triagers can review them, and that submitters risk a reputation for high noise and low signal, so their reports may be ignored. He says he is not against AI and uses it himself, but that people should use it to find bugs while being the ones to report, explain, and stand behind them.
