It feels like we are going to need a lot of volunteer effort to help remove all the AI garbage out of all these projects that insist on jamming AI into themselves.

This week the GZDoom project forked into UZDoom after a maintainer force-pushed AI-generated code into the repo. Thankfully, it failed to compile and other maintainers caught it before it made it out, but the decision to fork came down pretty quickly.

The creator was allegedly a massive asshole for years and him randomly reappearing after a year, only to force push shitty code that didn't work, was the last straw. It wasn't just because it was AI code.

Who can afford to volunteer as fork maintainer for a monolithic browser codebase, though?
