Mathematicians are officially worried about AI slop screwing with the peer review process.
I dare say some of these concerns could be applied to any open source project.
Thankfully I brought both my computer science degree and my autism with me, along with a healthy disrespect for puritanical screeching.

The devs for a world building strategy game I play had a server crash so they decided to dole out some apology items for the inconvenience.
But their script screwed up the calculation and gave me a quarter million of a rare resource item I usually only have a few hundred of.
Realizing that the devs would try to revert their mistake, I quickly engaged in several thousand trades to swap for other items and consume as much resources as possible.
A few hours later the devs sent a message saying they reverted the error, but I still have all of my other items. Success!
I wonder if this is what money laundering feels like...
