    Both the Linux Foundation and the EFF have permissive policies towards AI generated code, even Linus Torvalds accepts it as a tool.

    Some FOSS projects that have AI generated code in it:

    • The Linux kernel
    • Fedora
    • Mesa 3D
    • Jellyfin
    • Firefox
    • Chromium
    • Homebrew
    • OpenSSL
    • FFmpeg
    • Curl

    Should we ban them all? If so, this community would be either dead soon OR it would be hypocritical.

    Or because they started pre-AI it’s ok now? Shouldn’t we care more about disclosure, policies, licensing, code quality and maintainability?

    Users should downvote crappy software and crappy devs, regardless of the tool it was written with.
















  • ok I understand now, thanks for clarifying. My interpretation is that you had very bad past experiences, so now you now want something that just gets the job done and doesn’t ever change. Fair enough, that is absolutely a very valid posture. It just comes down to personal preference and as such, respectable.

    You seem well versed in what you understand as bad design with dark patterns. However, I must ask you: do you aknowledge that there is good design in this world, capable of making people of all kind (technical and casuals) understand and enjoy more the software they chose ?
