    This is the wrong question to be asking. “Is the code good” is literally all that matters when writing software that others will use. Slop is slop no matter if it comes from a person or an LLM. A human should be reviewing all code.

        Those are imaginary shit made up to stop progress. AI will be used. If not then the project will be formed and the fork will get leaves better than the human slop version. Meanwhile you’ll keep coping that le AI bad with le enbyornmint. AI uses less water than growing almonds. Stop being a brainwashed cattle

          AI will be used. If not then the project will be formed and the fork will get leaves better than the human slop version.

          I heavily doubt this is actually the case.

          But perhaps you can help out and show me some convincing real-world examples where large, mature, abd widely used FOSS projects were forked and became significantly better because use of LLM code generation?

          We have these things now for at least a year and as the old saying from the dot com era goes, Internet years are dog years, meaning a three year old dog is adult, so there must be a really successful application of that LLM technology in software development?

      Assuming ethical considerations are addressed I agree. Just at the moment blocking AI contribution is a helpful heuristic for catching slop. Same reason why I geo block IPs for my self hosted home services. Could my fam or friends be in Russia? I guess, but I’m pretty safe to just block any Russian IP for those services until I’m told from a credible source that they are infact that IP.

      Yes. I think that’s regularly the reason why I decline AI contribution/assistance. Quality just isn’t great. The coding agents just rewrite way too much code. And the reasoning in the PRs or backlog of the agent is regularly missing the bigger picture, or besides the point. It’s really hard to get good quality out of an LLM and most people (including me) don’t manage to pull it off. At least for more complex stuff. I can do one-off things with AI or cobble a website together with some Javascript included.
