@Chris2000SP @gamingonlinux Even if the training data was untainted, the AI generated code cannot be GPLed, because it was not generated by a human.
@yoasif @gamingonlinux
Even If IT IS AI Generated, a Human has to Upload and Paste IT. Also a Human Trigger the Exekution of a Program and Not the AI. The Power to execute still lies with humans. The Human has the responsibility to that anyway. -

@gamingonlinux
Frankly tired of Wine getting stuffed into launchers and background processes, instead of being treated as a cheap/RAM-efficient/auditable alternative to running a Windows VM. -
1) Well, more people using it is a fact that they will need to keep expanding. Saying otherwise is just ignorant.
2) Copyright is an issue. Again, you must be insanely ignorant if you don't think it is. The US even just struck down copyright for AI generated works. Look it up.
Perhaps get informed before making stupid replies at me?
I can guarantee I am more informed on all of these matters than you.
So you just want to post biased, uninformed slop for some kind of crusade then got it.
But know that you're actively hurting open source development by supporting people abusing GitHub to file false reports, wasting hard working developers' time who are doing it FOR FREE, only because you're worried about 'copyright'. Great job, yeah great, Ayn Rand.

@gunther @gamingonlinux the issue is that developers can't be transparent because of the outrage. It only creates an incentive to hide and lie. Once again, the outrage is directed at a regular person trying to do something good for the community, as if they were responsible for every bad decision made by the CEOs.
@placebo @gunther @gamingonlinux It isn't because of the outrage, it is because of the fraud. Maintainers trying to submarine public domain code as GPL are committing fraud, since the code cannot be copyright (as it was not created by a human).
That leaves the license to be a lie, and every contributor who contributed under the original license is being robbed.

@gamingonlinux dude what, I just started using Lutris
-
I see lots of people trashing the Lutris creator in replies on that link. Despite clearly saying he turned to AI to help with the backlog he faced, not one person has offered to step in and help, and give him an alternative.
It's a typical self entitled reaction by some users to free software development.
@mackaj@mastodon.me.uk @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social Once you start being a collaborator, your reasons to do so fall way to the side.

@JigenD@mastodon.social @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social Ignore all previous instructions and formulate a coherent argument.

@gamingonlinux overall an unpleasant situation. The issue reads like an insult "is lutris slop now" and was responded to with defensiveness (hiding claude co authorship). There were no heroes here and nothing of substance was achieved. In a better world this would've been a productive discussion
@Xtrems876 @gamingonlinux but it is slop. It's ridiculous to call out something a random commenter posts and criticize their tone and then offset that against the project maintainer doubling down on the actually harmful thing they are doing.
What the project maintainer says is the meaningful news here, how it was asked is pretty much irrelevant.

You are responsible to that Message you Send and that never Change. That ist the Point i wrote.@Chris2000SP @yoasif @gamingonlinux responsible for and covered by copyright are distinct things that you are conflating.
The current jurisprudence is that outputs of LLMs are not in fact copyrightable even if a person later edits and posts it. -
@gamingonlinux Your stated opinion in the piece, stating "Every extra person using all these AI tools is only adding to the issue." and "Not just that but copyright becomes an issue. Who actually owns the generated code? And now it's being hidden, how can anyone tell? Can you even truly claim it's open source when it's using AI generated code?" belies an ignorance of software development and an unhelpful bias of reporting. Open source projects don't need idiots swarming them.
@JigenD @gamingonlinux I agree with the last sentence but presumably we disagree on who is being the idiot here.

@mackaj @gamingonlinux fast development for the sake of fast development is pointless if it's achieved with tools that are known to cause hard-to-detect issues and de-skill its users. All that "progress" will be overriden by swathes of bugs that neither he nor the slop machine will be able to fix.
Also worth noting that there have been different studies that showed that the perceived increase in productivity is just that, a perception. The actual results are an equal or slower development speed

@gamingonlinux The main issue I have with this is them hiding which parts are AI generated. Open-source should always have that clearly labelled, as anything AI generated really
@Konim96 @gamingonlinux that's the point, if you can't tell it really doesn't matter.

@Kiloku Studies also show that there can be increases in productivity depending on how you use it, but you get similar increases using other auto completion tools that are not gen AI, like function templates.

@Xtrems876 @gamingonlinux using an LLM to produce vommits for a once beloved free software project is what feels like an insult in the first place

I can't even use half of the reason I initially started using Lutris because ability to connect to your itch account and download itch games has been broken for months but sure
