The curl project has been dealing with this for a while, and it seems like their main problem is the increasing volume of low quality submissions.
They wrote something very similar to your suggestion: https://curl.se/dev/contribute.html#on-ai-use-in-curl
In addition to the other comments, AI has enabled drive-by contributors that do not disclose their AI use, and it either increases the maintenance burden or leads to non-trivial bugs when such code is merged without a thorough review.
I am not as biased against AI as others, so my view on this is that this is more of a social / cultural issue than any problem inherent to LLMs.
Another potential problem for FOSS is legal liability regarding licensing. I am not well versed on this so I’ll leave the subject to those who can further expand on it
Gotcha, seems like a similar trajectory to many comrades who were more liberal - when they figure out the end result of “free” market competition it’s almost a straight line towards Marx
there was this weird phase in US anarchism, where a whole lot of anarcho-capitalists finally started becoming anti-capitalist (which is good of course) and they wrote a whole book about it like they just personally came up with the idea capitalism is bad for the first time ever
Can you give more details on these people and this book? I always found ancaps very ideologically incoherent, wondering how they got around to reinventing Marxism using their own theory
Also using Emacs. If you are a dev magit is another must have. Even if there was a decent substitute for it (which I doubt - saw a lot of IDE churn and Emacs was very capable of keeping up with the times) I’d still use it just to use it and Org-mode.
I’d like to know your opinion on https://opencode.ai/ and/or https://charm.land/ if you have tried them - FOSS competitors to tools like Claude code.
