Someone else quoted a 14x increase in load due to AI hammering github. I wouldn't be at all shocked if that was true, considering how much AI tools are DDOSing the entire internet.

In my own CLAUDE.md files, I tell it to liberally use the `gh` CLI to search for issues and error messages across the entire GitHub code index. It's insanely effective, but it feels like I'm part of the problem, and I'm sure there are a lot of other people doing the same.
