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.
I see AI programs more as quick and dirty tools than “Open Source Projects”.
that comparison works quite well to explain why i think it can’t legally qualify as open source, too!
Both ai-generated software and short generic scripts aren’t really unique in any meaningful way, there’s no creativity in it and therefore it really shouldn’t be considered covered by copyright in the first place.
