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.

Fair enough. The other thing is if people hate it and want it banned on an ethical perspective, what if the AI used was selfhosted and self trained on ethically obtained data? There is no way for the end user to tell.
