There's a bit of drama going on with the popular game manager Lutris right now, with users pointing out the developer using AI generated code via Claude.
Okay. I guess you want the volunteer open source dev to write everything by hand from scratch so it will pass your high standards. That’s on you, honestly.
You sound even more like the dev in question. To quote an excerpt from his post:
There are massive issues with AI tech, but those are caused by our current capitalist culture, not the tools themselves. In many ways, it couldn’t have been implemented in a worse way but it was AI that bought all the RAM, it was OpenAI. It was not AI that stole copyrighted content, it was Facebook. It wasn’t AI that laid off thousands of employees, it’s deluded executives who don’t understand that this tool is an augmentation, not a replacement for humans.
Like that it produces hallucinated bullshit and anyone can see that with any given 2-3 Google searches now. It’s literally impossible to miss that if you use the Internet now.
I’m not a fanboi of AI, but also not all AI is equally capable. You can be upset for ethical reasons, you can dislike some things it produces for style reasons, and yes it does sometimes produce code that feels like it should work, even though it doesn’t. All of these things are true.
But also Claude doing coding is very different than the AI answers on Google searches, and even those are much better than a cherry-picked highlight reel of bad results on a blog post.
Again, you don’t have to like AI or agree with its use, but claiming the code Claude produces is fully bullshit because some customer support chatbot does a bad job is just being misinformed. You should at least know your enemy and its capabilities.
They are making the point that you won’t be able to tell the difference. & It’s a salient one.
Doesn’t give much confidence in their coding abilities then.

Ahh yes, how dare a community run and funded project have community accountability.
The project has several ways of being community funded.
Accountability for what!? You people have lost your minds.
Ah yes, if anyone is against AI, because of its problems, then we’ve all lost our minds.
Are YOU the dev in question, or do you just have an unreasonably huge boner for AI?
I happen to agree w the developer that peoples’ problem w AI is actually a problem w Capitalism

Well, you are making up head cannon. Check my profile, there’s a Pixelfed link. I’m an artist not an engineer.
the solution isn’t to lie down in defeat. its boycott.
So, you’re a simpleton. Noted.
thats not nice. also, capitalism is the problem.
Thats like…exactly how its been done up to this point???
Yes, that is what we want. Or at least everything past boilerplate templates.
Even if that were true, which it isn’t, there are plenty of other reasons to scrutinize any use of “generative” AI.
Like…?

You took that way too literally
