So how do you tell apart AI contributions to open source from human ones?

[–] self@awful.systems 15 points 10 months ago (6 children)

if it’s undisclosed, it’s obvious from the universally terrible quality of the code, which wastes volunteer reviewers’ time in a way that legitimate contributions almost never do. the “contributors” who lean on LLMs also can’t answer questions about the code they didn’t write or help steer the review process, so that’s a dead giveaway too.
