Ask HN: AI-generated spam pull requests?

Are you seeing pull requests in open source projects that are clearly AI-generated? We recently had someone open a pull request to our open source project and the code and the explanation of the code was clearly AI generated. It was obvious that the code doesn’t work and the person had not tested the code. We do not know what the end goal of the person was but we confronted the person and closed the pull requests. Has any other open source projects experienced this? What did you do?
