It's only slop if you don't know what you're doing and/or are using low quality tools. But I have over 30 years of programming experience and use the best tool currently available. It was tremendously helpful in helping me catch up with everything I wasn't able to do last year because of health issues / depression.

It sounds like they thought it through and decided it's the best way to do the work. Removing the attributions seems like a little bit of a petty "fuck you", but so is opening a github issue just to whine about AI. Someone who is volunteering their time to make free software shouldn't have to put up with people with an ideological bone to pick who feel entitled to tell them how.

Then they can ignore the issue just like plenty of other troll ones that devs ignore. He actually had to invest effort into doing what he did than just ignoring it, never mind how that Barbara Streissanded it . Honestly would have been better for the guy if he wasn't doing advertising for Claude by letting it mark the parts of the code it had coauthored, but once the cat is out of the bag you can't just take something like that back. I agree that if people really have a problem with it, then they should just fork and do it on their own time, but you have to expect public criticism if you do things in the public, otherwise don't.
