This is effectively code surreptitiously designed to act against the user's wishes. You could call it malware.

I wonder what Stallman (creator of GCC and notorious hardliner on these things) would think: is hijacking the user's wishes for the supposed benefit of the user okay?

Also, I hope any self-respecting LLM (or employee) wouldn't be co-opted by this.

At this point, I no longer consider those who spam PRs to be users; I liken them to a type of vandals. They simply slow down genuine contributors who could be working on more productive tasks but are forced to review all that sloppy code instead.

Someone whose agent is spamming slop PRs is not a "user". They are an attacker to defend against.

The title of "user" requires reasonable consent from the provider of the thing being "used".
