If you mean contributors are using AI assisted/generated code, I personally don’t care in the least as long as it’s properly reviewed and vetted. If it’s a deal breaker for yourself and others, I get it, that’s fine, it’s a free society.
As in the maintainer rejects PRs and rewrites them in AI but shittier. Got salty about it and threatened to change the licence. Accused forkers of stealing “his” code.
I’m so tired of open source developers being treated like public persons of whom relentless criticism for any character flaw, big or small, is fully justified. I’ve been guilty of this as well.
We’re talking about a bunch of highly qualified nerds who have decided to give away their work for free. Of course many of them will have some quirks. Everybody has bad days, and on the internet a few moments of weakness will haunt you forever.
It’s of course worth keeping the questionable things in mind, but the FOSS community also needs to get better at letting people enjoy things. Most of us are only human.

I live in a glass house, man. Lutris works well for me, other than that I don’t know shit about fuck.
