Hi,

I have the feeling that two topics are being mixed here. One is AI and the 
other one is spam.

Bug reports written by bots sound to me like spam independently of whether AI 
is involved.

That would be the part of the discussion that is AI related.

Not having seen such a report myself yet, your description sounds as if it is 
off-topic. Which again means it can be considered spam regardless of how it is 
generated.

I don't think a policy will help to keep bots away. It could help though if it 
is a natural person writing low quality reports with the help of AI on a valid 
topic / bug.
