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.

Just like a quality architect wouldn't want to build a house

As someone who actually went to school for that before tech - architects don't build houses.

You know who does, in the US? Del Webb and other massive builders, who give the lowest common denominator slop because that's what the economics of the market demand, and the profits of the funding require.

The problem is almost always the power relationships behind the tools - it's not that the plans are done by CAD or hand that matter.
