ffmpeg devs can refuse the AI generated bugfixes for all we care.

This is a separate problem, but it's still a problem. Many projects have seen a rise in slop PRs. curl is notorious for complaining about AI slop vulnerabilities and patch requests.

But I think we both agree that Google needs to be doing something more rather than putting the workload entirely on the ffmpeg devs.

Agree! I hereby propose that Google forwards US$1000 to the developers each time the AI signals a bug. Don't even need to write it off as expense, it's just "investment on QA".
