Slop projects and slop submissions existed before the current crop of AI but it's certainly lowered the barrier. That said I suspect there are places AI can help. Simple patches, human guided refactores, test cases. We'll have data points from the projects that turned on the slop cannons and started auto accepting PRs soon enough.
Yeah, I think calling out the demise of opensource is too early as there isn't enough data to support such a position.
