We've been getting a lot of AI coded submissions recently, as well as lots of reports asking to remove them.

Should we remove these posts, or not?

Keep them but perhaps ask for #ai tags in titel, so those not wanting them can scroll past them.

All these new apps/software announcements will just get better and better, and if they are open source, they clearly fall in under this sub. At some point most users will have their own agents that can add or improve these new projects as they see fit, so let si oss be shown here as normal.

There are already super cool vibe coded open source software, and let's be honest, not all hooman software is great, so why not ban shitty hooman software/coders while we are at it? Oc not - oss is oss no matter how its made, even if the description sounds like an ai, or it's not always maintained.

In the near future, pure hooman coded open source will become more and more rare, so those interested in non-ai open source should start new sub's for their special wants instead of posing restrictions on what is becoming the new normal.

I think this is the best reasons in this thread, for what is worth.
