Lutris maintainer use AI generated code for some time now. The maintainer also removed the co-authorship of Claude, so no one knows which code was generated by AI.
Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.
Am I allowed to have an unpopular narrative here?
There are levels of vibe coding, and it’s possible to use AI without vibe coding at all.
If you’re very targeted in what you’re having the AI do and you carefully review the code, it can be a great tool.
For example, “make this html grid sortable and add a download button that creates a csv file.” You know exactly what this does, it’s self contained, and it’s something you know can just be copied from stack overflow and applied to your code.
That works, and works well.
“Create an app that…” is vibe coded slop.

Even if this works, you’ll be stealing someone else’s code without authorship attribution for anything that’s a non-trivial algorithm.
Most devs are already doing that. This just saves them the time of doing it for themselves.
Let me introduce you to Stackoverflow…or well, what it used to be.
It can be useful when an experienced programmer knows how to guide it, although you have to be very intentional or you’ll end up wasting your time cleaning up after it.
That being said I think most people are upset that they’re no longer declaring which parts of code are AI assisted
