a lot of communities are aggressively clamping down on AI contributions. i think leaving the floodgates open really hasnt worked out. People touting "the kernel does it so get over it" gloss over the contributions being small and strict "your ai code reflects you and you own the consequences" policy.

additionally i dont buy the enterprise does it so get on board argument. the floss movement is literally built around pushing back on corporate norms. i dont know why anyone would take thay argument at face value.

for a lot of FLOSS communities, the ethics of the software is as important as the quality. which is why so many Debian community members felt betrayed by milquetoast ai policy adoption.

Graphene made a similar "look they're all doing it too" argument on Mastadon which I feel just really undermines their image as the alternative.

"we dont police our developers usage as long as the quality meets out high standards. all code is at the end of the day ownedand reviewed by the humans in our teams" or some other equally silly statement would still have had critics but at least they wouldn't sound like a grade schooler wining about how infair life is.
