It looks like the issue submitter is trolling a number of projects on their personal anti-AI crusade. I would take it more seriously if they had reviewed any of the PRs and identified issues with them.

Yes AI slop is an issue (especially for maintainers) but it can still be a useful tool. If the maintainers want to use AI on their own code it should be their choice. Most forks fail because the righteous feeling of finally getting your own way on a repo you control usually falls away as you realise the people actually doing the work didn't follow you.

It's only an issue if Lutris becomes closed source or the available code becomes impossible to review by humans.

As I see it:

• any open source code that is unreviewed by others (mostly hidden work) can be dangerous to use.
• Maintainer is still maintainer unless fork
• Maintainer still... Maintains Lutris which I'm unable to do
• Maintainer is and admits to being a Troll. Also admits to using AI. Both are better than trying to hide it.
• See point one.

I get the AI hate, but as Maintainer does, I believe it being shitty cause we don't live in a good or nice system, and it can't be removed. Maximum is it being forbidden, which somehow does not make it feel safer at all.

Whether I like it or not, it's there. Let's get back to point one.

Just assume everything is AI generated and feel free to ignore the GPLv3 because generated code doesn't have any copyright. See how he reacts.

Good for him. Y'all are insanely prejudiced and have lost the thread. 

Biggest problem with this will be when whatever agent they use to write code inevitably spits out copyrighted code and the project gets killed.

If you don't know every single codebase the genAI LLM is trained off of, you cannot trust it. Might as well be playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun. You'll have better odds of surviving than if you use genAI LLM slop.

Meh, I don't really care. It's a free product and it does what I need it to. Just open an issue if there's actually something wrong with the code itself or pick another software if you disagree with the maintainer. There's really no need for drama here.

Fair response to someone opening an issue just to broadly complain about AI imo

Lutris was always worthless slop.

Holy purity test I think people in this thread are slightly over reacting.

Everyone will forget about this by next week. Not a huge deal IMO. Its open source already so the code stealing doesnt cross any lines IMO.

Honestly? It’s a front end for some other tools to play games on Linux, if someone finds a performance issue or security hole we can react, but if this makes the Maintainers’s life easier I don’t know how much I really care, John Henry can fork it if they want and show how much better work they do than Claude
