Spamming AI generated submissions is being used for a lot of things and it's a real problem. People do it with resumes, open source patch requests, bug bounties, government contracts, etc. It's created a ton of work filtering through junk submissions from people who use AI to generate them and then either don't have the competency to evaluate what the AI generated or don't want to spend the time doing it.
AI allows people to appear to have competence in subjects they don't and also allows them to generate submissions to various things in almost no time. It's wasting a lot subject matter experts' time reviewing and weeding out the low quality or outright wrong ones.
I recently applied to a major university for an administrator position that I am highly qualified for and I spent about a day or two crafting a very detailed cover letter and tailored CV to only get my application immediately rejected. when I called the HR contact to ask why my application didn't warrant at least a conversation, they said it was auto filtered for being AI generated.
