It looks like the issue submitter is trolling a number of projects on their personal anti-AI crusade. I would take it more seriously if they had reviewed any of the PRs and identified issues with them.
Yes AI slop is an issue (especially for maintainers) but it can still be a useful tool. If the maintainers want to use AI on their own code it should be their choice. Most forks fail because the righteous feeling of finally getting your own way on a repo you control usually falls away as you realise the people actually doing the work didn't follow you.
Honestly the need for Lutris has gone way way down in the last couple years. I don't know about forking it, but I think it'd be pretty easy to just avoid it. Less because there's any concrete issues that I could point out, but more as a political statement and loss of confidence.
