who makes a contribution made by aibot514. noone. people use ai for open source contributions, but more in a 'fix this bug' way not in a fully automated contribution under the name ai123 way
Counter-argument: If AI code was good, the owners would create official accounts to create contributions to open source, because they would be openly demonstrating how well it does. Instead all we have is Microsoft employees being forced to use and fight with Copilot on GitHub, publicly demonstrating how terrible AI is at writing code unsupervised.
Yes, that's exactly the point. AI is terrible at writing code unsupervised, but it's amazing as a supportive tool for real devs!
