'AI Slop' vs No Review at All - Which Actually Kills Open Source?

Two things are true at once: AI-assisted code reviews have real quality problems. The alternative most PRs actually face is no review at all. I ran 449 AI-assisted code reviews on OCA (Odoo Community Association) open source PRs in 9 days. Then I ran rigorous independent validation against the actual code. I also pulled the review statistics across all 10,808 PRs in the same 6 repositories. Both datasets tell a story. The community's reaction to each tells another. The AI reviews got called "slop," triggered near-ban discussions, and were shut down within days.
