Open-source developers are increasingly burdened by bug reports generated by AI coding assistants. These tools produce large volumes of low-quality or hallucinated code, leading to more defects that developers must fix. The resulting workload is causing burnout and health issues among maintainers, who struggle to keep up with the influx of AI-induced bugs.
