A quick thought on AI-generated bulk PRs

Hi there,
Just to be clear upfront: I’m totally pro-AI tools and use them myself.
But I’ve noticed a pattern lately with bulk changes that I think we
need to tweak.
Right now, the workflow looks a bit like this:
1. Run a prompt in "yolo" mode to make massive changes across a bunch
of repos all at once.
2. Merge the PRs almost immediately.
3. Realise the initial prompt missed something, which triggers another
massive batch of PRs to fix the first batch.
4. back to 1.

The main issue here is notification fatigue. We’re getting blasted
with so many emails and alerts that it’s impossible to keep up. When
that happens, we tune out the noise and stop reviewing entirely, which
is exactly when real issues slip through the cracks.

Since AI is incredibly useful for these kinds of bulk updates, I think
we can do this more effectively/wizely.
Could we try this approach instead?

Start small: Run the prompt and generate a PR for just one repo first.
Review: Have the community conduct a thorough, in-depth review of that
single AI-generated PR.
Refine: Tweak the prompt based on the feedback. Once it's solid, we
can save it as a reusable "skill" that the community trusts.

Scale up: Once the single repo is good to go, then roll the prompt out
to the rest of the repos.

I think slowing down just a little bit at the start will cut down on
the noise, save us a lot of context-switching, and make us all way
more confident in the code we're merging.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Olivier
