I am pretty sure I know the answer, but I am wondering what people think about this. Say you come across a new fediverse platform. It has a lot of innovative features, and seems to be well thought out overall. A lot of people have been excited by the features and have been joining to check these new features out.
The one rub, the project admits that they used AI agents in the foundational stages of the project to accelerate development progress, then once the foundation was built, they analyzed, bug fixed, and documented the code, and brought in human contributors to assist with developing the project going forward. They do still allow AI code, but only certain types and using certain quality protocols to ensure code consistency, and are clear and up front about this, and unapologetic, as it was the only way they could make this project happen in the time and manner it did.
I know AI is somewhat more accepted in the coding world these days, depending on who you talk to, but I know some people have strong stances in it. How would you feel about a project like this? Under what circumstances would you be ok with joining a platform that has used AI in its code?
As an end user its not as much a consideration as how the software works and how it feels in use. I feel ultimately this is more of an issue for people running instances.
