There is an answer to disingenuous pull requests. That is doing the work to review the code before it's implemented.
That's true, but when it takes Joe Random Hacker 10 seconds to generate a plausible-looking pull-request, which requires Joe Project Maintainer to spend 30 minutes reviewing the code-changes in that request, and Joe Project Maintainer isn't getting paid for his time spent doing the review, you've got all the ingredients for a distributed-denial-of-service attack on your project's maintainers. Perhaps AI code-reviewers can restore the balance, but I don't know how many project maintainers would trust their codebase's integrity to them (yet).
