> As several comments in the issue mention, it's up to the developers that contribute to an open source package to decide how they do it. Complaining on an issue tracker (apparently without proof) about AI ruining a piece of software is a form of "Open Source contributor abuse" discussed frequently on Hacker News

Sure, the developer can do whatever they want with their open source package. They could also freely ship malware or exploits. That certainly doesn't make them immune to criticism, especially when it starts suffering from critical failures or the results of their changes make it no longer usable in specific environments.

A lot of the comments on the issue tracker are obviously out of line and I imagine a decent chunk is ragebaiting. But I think if people want to continue using LLM shit, they need to be ready to weather ALL criticism that comes with it.
