I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months. How do you even modify and distribute that? I do not think we had a rule against it.

IMHO if we allow, the community gets drowned out by AI vomit and it is harder to see handcrafted loved projects that are easy to modify and distribute.

My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

Are folk in agreememt with this line? Would love to hear your thoughts.

the post is not about this 1M LoC project, it's about creating a ban for whatever the mods decide it's slop

What I wanted to say is: I'm pretty sure we can trust the community and moderators to recognise the difference between slop and AI assistance.

yeah, and I disagree. People have different opinions on this. A 1M LoC slop project is an extreme that is not representative of what shows up here.
