I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months. How do you even modify and distribute that? I do not think we had a rule against it.

IMHO if we allow, the community gets drowned out by AI vomit and it is harder to see handcrafted loved projects that are easy to modify and distribute.

My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

Are folk in agreememt with this line? Would love to hear your thoughts.

    Let people choose what they want to see.

    People here tend to call any hint of LLM use “slop”, and arguing on a threshold is a waste of everyone’s time that will end up disappointing most. Tag it and let people choose.

      I like this idea. Tag it. Mandatory disclosure. People should just be honest about the amount of AI they used and how.

      “I vibecoded this awesome thing with 100k LOC in a weekend, check it out” vs “I used AI to help with planning and architecture, but wrote the code myself” are two very different things.

        You have it backwards. It’s better to keep a tight grip on planning and architecture than implementation of individual functions.

      Bro one million lines of code in three months is slop, without me having even read the code.

      I made the report and I’m definitely pro AI when it’s used responsibly. Sadly about 95% of AI usage nowadays is irresponsible, unmaintainable, vibe-coded bullshit not even the prompters understand.

      I’d like the 95% to be banned and the other 5% to be tagged.

        the post is not about this 1M LoC project, it’s about creating a ban for whatever the mods decide it’s slop

          What I wanted to say is: I’m pretty sure we can trust the community and moderators to recognise the difference between slop and AI assistance.

            yeah, and I disagree. People have different opinions on this. A 1M LoC slop project is an extreme that is not representative of what shows up here.
