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.
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.
Great way to torpedo any trust people might’ve had in your project.
It is kind of hilarious that this is actually the issue here. Sure, using AI for coding can be problematic. But then going back and removing any reference to it just to fuck with people even more. Damn.
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.

“Haha now you won’t know what is or isn’t slop!!”
“But then we’ll just assume it’s all slop…”
“…D’oh!!!”
They’d assume that anyway. The self-proclaimed haters have a one-drop rule.
That’s why this author didn’t exactly announce it - they were trying to dodge a harassment campaign.

I think it’s hilarious how much it’s bothering you guys
Oh you don’t like to know when we put shit in your food so you can scrutinize it? Fine we’ll just not tell you.
Congratz now ALL of it contains shit.
Schrodinger’s Backdoor
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.
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
You sound even more like the dev in question. To quote an excerpt from his post:
the solution isn’t to lie down in defeat. its boycott.
So, you’re a simpleton. Noted.
Ah yes, if anyone is against AI, because of its problems, then we’ve all lost our minds.
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…?
