Quoting: fenglengshunOh, this is finally blowing up now? I actually skipped the entire section where the Mathieu glazed AI in The Linux Destination podcast. It was pretty long.

Look, I get it, people use AI. I personally don't mind if he generates codes, checks it, rewrite it into something that fits with the rest of the code in the project. Others' lines might differ, but as long as the program didn't become slop, I am willing to tolerate it.

But this:

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.

Is absolutely the wrong way to handle it.

Although I do find it rather ironic that Lutris, in the same podcast, is claimed to be a platform for game preservation, and yet he uses AI, which Myrient (a game preservation site) has cited to be a reason why they're shutting down.

I think you have a healthy outlook on the tech. Though I would say that there is nothing wrong removing the co-authorship tag. In fact, developers should just disable that co-authorship tag from commits to begin with, so that removing it later won't be any added prolonging of the drama as we all inevitably move on from the hysteria. It's really of no more interest for the commit than knowing any other tool that was used.

Quoting: scaine"I'm doing a thing people hate, so instead of not doing that, I'll continue to do it, but hide it better"

That's a bold position to take in any project, let alone a FOSS project. And just because he can use it in non-slop manner (maybe? hopefully?) it doesn't absolve him of the ethical concerns many of us have about genAI.

There are no ethical issues worth our concern. We'll carry on, not caring about your feelings.

To be honest, like most people, if the game looks fun, We will still buy it.
We do not care if they use AI, and won't even check. We don't see any big ethical concerns.
