    Misleading title, there's another major reason: it's an embargo agreement violation that jeopardizes Linux support on PS5.

        I don&#x27;t find that offensive at all. People do not understand the code they make AI to generate, but that doesn&#x27;t stop them from submitting. This is a real problem that has hit many open source projects, and I expect more and more of them will introduce barriers to submission.

          LLM use has been polarised like everything else seemingly is.

          I have no issue with people using them to do things they could already do themselves as an efficiency thing and if they check and understand the result.

          Unfortunately that seems to be the exception not the rule and the amount of &quot;one shot slop&quot; has increased dramatically, it&#x27;s even affecting the modding communities for games.

          This is gonna be a mess that is going to take time to figure out and then even more time to clean up.
