Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice. We are getting pull requests on our OSS repo that have clearly been written by chatgpt. I am getting requests from the contributors to review and merge, but it’s obvious that their code has not been tested either. Some of the PRs make zero sense.

How do you handle these types of PRs without being rude? We are getting these contributions via hacktoberfest and I don’t want to ignore anyone. I’ve thought about asking them for an explanation of their technical decisions and how they tested it in the hopes they get a hint.

Follow up question: is it overkill to add a “no chatgpt” section to our contribution guide? I have no problem if someone wants to use gpt or copilot to help them code but the code needs to make sense and actually work.

Thanks in advance!
