Curl Project Tightens Controls on AI-Generated Bug Reports

The mainly used command tool maintainers have implemented stricter measures to filter low quality errors reports generated by artificial intelligence, citing an increase in presentations that lack clarity, relevance or processable details.
Daniel Stenberg, the founder and main developer of Curl, expressed concern about the growing number of reports generated by AI that consume valuable time and resources. He pointed out that many of these reports are vague, inaccurate or do not provide the necessary information for effective purification.
To address this problem, the Curl project has updated its error report guidelines, explicitly discouraging the use of AI tools to generate errors reports unless the output is reviewed and thoroughly edited by a connoisseur. Maintainers have also improved their triage processes to identify and decelerate reports that seem to be generated by AI and lack substantive content.
This movement reflects a broader trend in the open source community, where developers are dealing with the implications of the content generated by AI. Although artificial intelligence tools can help in several aspects of software development, their use in error reports has raised conerns about quality and reliability.
An empirical study published on April 26, 2025, entitled “Can we improve the quality of the error report using LLM?: An empirical study of the generation of errors reports with headquarters in LLM,” explored the effectiveness of large language models in the generation of structured errors reports. The study evaluated models such as Qwen 2.5, Mistral, calls 3.2 and chatgpt-4o, discovering that, although some models performed well in certain metrics, the general quality varied and human supervision remained crucial.
Curl Projects decision underlines the importance of maintaining high standards in errors reports to guarantee efficient software maintenance and development. When filtering reports generated by low quality AI, maintainers aim to focus their efforts on processable problems that contribute to the stability and performance of the project.
