Lutris is AI slop now
(i.ibb.co.com)
Lutris maintainer use AI generated code for some time now. The maintainer also removed the co-authorship of Claude, so no one knows which code was generated by AI.
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.
As much as I don't like AI I don't blame him for using it. Opensource is a thankless sector where maintainers put in massive amount of work for nothing in return. If AI is helping him then all the power to him.
That being said we don't know how AI code generated currently will age. We know how the code 3 years ago ended up being slop of hard to maintain code but modern models are a lot more competent. Maybe he shouldn't have removed the coauthored by Claude thingy but in the end it's him using a tool and verifying it's output.
I used lutris back in the day for playing rocket league and I'd also use it today. I feel we should give this guy the benefit of the doubt for now. If in the future Lutris becomes less stable we should absolutely blame AI but until then I'll hold off on my judgement.
