Before hitting submit I’d worry I’ve made a silly mistake which would make me look a fool and waste their time.
Do they think the AI written code Just Works ™? Do they feel so detached from that code that they don’t feel embarrassment when it’s shit? It’s like calling yourself a fictional story writer and writing “written by (your name)” on the cover when you didn’t write it, and it’s nonsense.

AI bros have zero self awareness and shame, which is why I continue to encourage that the best tool for fighting against it is making it socially shameful.
Somebody comes along saying “Oh look at the image is just genera…” and you cut them with “looks like absolute garbage right? Yeah, I know, AI always sucks, imagine seriously enjoying that hahah, so anyway, what were you saying?”
LLM code generation is the ultimate dunning Kruger enhancer. They think they’re 10x ninja wizards because they can generate unmaintainable demos.
They’re not going to maintain it - they’ll just throw it back to the LLM and say “enhance”.
Damn, Godot too? I know Curl had to discontinue their bug bounties over the absolutely tidal volume of AI slop reports… Open source wasn’t ever perfect, but whatever cracks in there were are being blown a mile wide by these goddamn slop factories.
Why people try to contribute even if they don’t work on their codes? Ai slop not helping at all.
What people don’t realize is that AI does not write good code unless you tell it to. I am playing a lot with AI doing the writing, while I give it specific prompts, but even then, very often it changes code that was totally unnecessary. And this is the dangerous part.
I believe the only thing repo owners could do is use AI against AI. Let the blind AI contributors drown in work by constantly telling them to improve the code, and by asking critical questions.
Ohhh, that’s what I was missing, just tell it to write good code, of course.
Obviously you have no clue how LLM’s work and it is way more complex than just telling it to weite good code. What I was saying is, that even with a very good prompt, it will make up things and you have to double check it. However, for that you need to be able to read and understand code, which is not the case for 98% of the vibe coders.
So what you’re saying is in order for “AI” to write good code I need to double check everything it spits out and correct it, effectively doing all the work myself. But sure, tell yourself that it saves any amount of time.
