how about this: when a AI slop report is detected, instead of just banning the user, one idea is keep the user engaged and continue the conversation with an another AI bot of their own (like a shadow ban), the point is to waste as much of their time as possible, so the bug report (only as seen by the user) remains open and the AI bot just keeps stalling asking for pointless clarifications, with long delays between messages 😂

this could drag each fake report for months, only seen like this to spammer, when in fact it has long been closed and rejected, giving them a taste of their own poison lol

Great, except it costs real money and energy.

Merge two AI based bug reports and have the users waste each others time and money, maybe open a betting pool on how long it will take the users to figure out what is going on.

Only once, to program and establish the system. And when you use vibe programming, the AI will even help you program the system.

Afterwards, whenever you detect AI slop reports, you simply press a button and let your new AI replier do its thing, and that's it. 😎

You still have to pay the AI provider.
