The article is actually pretty interesting. The only one mentioned is Curl, and that's because of abuses by uneducated developers using AI with no idea of what they're doing.

I actually think that's the central thesis of the article, especially the last example that discusses the LLVM compiler project getting raked over the coals after not engaging with a non-developer that had used AI to make pull requests, and admitted he had no idea what the code did.

Buried in the middle of the article is a paragraph that I think sums up the main point well.

> More broadly, the very hardest problem in open source is not code, it’s people — how to work with others. Some AI users just don’t understand the level they simply aren’t working at.

The point being that without a good programmer, AI is not very useful.
