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.
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.

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
All jokes aside, Windows (pre ai) was filled with backdoors now. Still is, probably has more, but it never stopped them in the past.

Yeah, nah. Damage has been done already.
He should’ve stuck with his guns and said “the Claude code stays”.
He did. You may have misunderstood.
I mean he should have simply stated “the Claude code stays”, instead of hiding which were the Claude commits.
I think you mean Claude cope.

While I hate AI as much as the next guy. It’s also entirely true that people are attacking and harassing people for using making them a worse problem.
I’m entirely down for fucking with the dipshits who can’t help themselves but be massive twats.
If your going to have a shit show might as well make it a good one.
I think it’s hilarious how much it’s bothering you guys
CAREFUL! That’s borderline troll thinking.
“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.
Then they don’t read very much. They streisand effected themselves.
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.
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.
Yes, that is what we want. Or at least everything past boilerplate templates.
Thats like…exactly how its been done up to this point???
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
the solution isn’t to lie down in defeat. its boycott.
So, you’re a simpleton. Noted.
You sound even more like the dev in question. To quote an excerpt from his post:
Ah yes, if anyone is against AI, because of its problems, then we’ve all lost our minds.
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
