    Anyone else suspect commercial game engine are doing this to attack their FOSS (free open source software) competitor?

    Unlike other engines Godot asks nothing of its users. No money, no tie in to their sales platform. It’s literally just good free software anyone is invited to try.

    Sad to see it dealing with this. FOSS may be under a kind of intentional AI attack.

      yes, exactly my thoughts. what if the AI-slop pull request onslaught is a way of the feudalists to weaken the FOSS community and on the long run make themselves irreplaceable? seems to be happening to a lot of maintainers

    if the bubble ever collapses maybe AI use will cost too much to harass FOSS projects with it.

      This. AI is not and will not be profitable. It’s afloat because of an investor circlejerk. Once they get off then it’s over. A waiting game.

    Really awful website with more ads and shit than content.

    Nevertheless worrysome and indeed food for tough. Ai is here to stay, so we all need to find ways to deal with it, that we like it or not.

    Maybe specialized humans in detect ai slop? Because using ai to detect ai seems kind of hironic.

      Humans in the loop? Code would have to be read and understood by the human, in relation to the problem being resolved, and the rest of the code base it may or may not interact with… And that’s difficult.

      Use ai to make code to detect and block AI. Actually though wish we could force an AI tag tat could just be blocked with UBO

        But what polices that? And what’s to stop humans pasting in the AI code, which may look like human code, just behave poorly or contain hallucinations.
