Ask HN: How do you prevent AI generated GitHub issues?

Hey HN, I wanted to know if there are tools that will block or automatically close AI generated issues in my public github repos.

Github seems to want to do nothing about this & I'm tired of wasting my time reading issues that no one actually validated or are just used as marketing for yet another AI slop tool.

In the past week I've had a number of "security audits" generated completely by AI that do not help my project at all. If this continues, I might have to just block github issues entirely in my public repos.
