Lutris maintainer use AI generated code for some time now. The maintainer also removed the co-authorship of Claude, so no one knows which code was generated by AI.
Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.


That thread is mildly hilarious with the people snarkily saying if someone doesn’t like it, fork it and remove the AI slop and develop from there — and then people admitting they don’t have the skill to do the software development/they don’t want to learn/they wouldn’t be able to recognize the AI generated code from the human written code/they’re not going to fund AI free development and generally glossing over that these are unpaid hobby projects.
A bunch of these people I’m certain would not work for free and make that a moral and political statement about the value of labor but not extend that energy to the work of open source software developers. The guy works on a project that I’m certain would have a low ceiling for amount of monthly donations. People whining about him using AI who themselves won’t contribute any more than words of affirmation. So pretty much worthless. Absolutely worthless after like half a year of a demanding user base whose only contribution is prey much like a kid grumpily saying, “well I said thank you! You happy!? Now can you do what I said!?”
