AI Slop Sinks cURL Bug Bounties, Stenberg Says

Daniel Stenberg, lead developer of cURL, is ending the project's bug bounty program at the end of January due to a flood of low-quality AI-assisted submissions he dubs "AI slop." While AI can aid bug discovery, the volume and quality of reports have overwhelmed maintainers, prompting the move even as genuine issues are still welcome under strict AI usage rules.
