some telltale signs to look for in git repos:

  • .claude, .cursor
  • AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md
  • the user claude has contributed (on github); this is especially easy to notice if you’ve blocked it, so i recommend you do that
  • CONTRIBUTING.md mentions that ai-generated contributions are allowed

this list has a bunch of those stained projects, with receipts. but be warned: you will be severely disappointed in many projects you used to respect

there is also this list which contains projects that have stated that they do not allow slop!

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md

Afaik those can be used to poison AI output, such that it's immediately rejectable. Like in kittygram/CLAUDE.md. So writing off any repo with those files is a kneejerk reaction.

also look for those in the .gitignore file

edit: jesus christ bitwarden is on that list! a password manager! psychotic.

keepass uses ai too, i am honestly done with tech in general

[–] semi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Does KeePassXC's blog post on how they use GenAI give you a different perspective? To me, that way of using it is perfectly reasonable.

Wow you weren’t kidding about being disappointed, and I’m not even using a lot of programs..

I did find this to be chuckle-inducing, though, simply because it’s the only time I’ve found so far that doesn’t have an alternative and also isn’t left blank

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

There is alternative bluesky implementations, like https://reddwarf.app/.

Why is Godot Engine in both lists?

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

godot does not allow entire ai-generated contributions, so it’s in the ai-free list

but it does allow ai assistance (like if it just writes one line for you), and has received contributions by claude before, so it’s in the slop list

yea those lists aren’t perfect

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

thanks this is very useful. is there any other github user like 'claude' that one can block and use as an indicator?

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it -1 points 1 month ago

Eeh idk, it depens on how they use it; Ex: I mainly use claude code to do some debugging or some boring stuff

But if someone use it for vibe coding then he should go to hell

Did neovim get enshittened when i wasn't looking?

fuuuuuuuuuuck. the Helix repo has "you have blocked Claude" warning too.

Microsoft Visual Studio or...

Nope. Couldn't do it. Couldn't keep a straight face.

Unpopular opinion, but I'm coming to the realization that I don't really care if FOSS projects are experimenting with and leaning into AI. In most cases I am not donating and simply enjoying a product for free. I am no programmer I put trust in their code before, all I can do is continue to do the same. Now, paid software feels different. And I don't mean donations, I mean if Autodesk started pumping out slop (which I don't doubt is happening) then that feels far worse.

Plus, I've gotten an insane amount of utility out of Claude as a regular dude. If I knew what I was doing a little more, I imagine that would feel pretty cool.

[–] semi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm with you, as a maintainer of some small FOSS projects with very limited time, a lot of these complaints seem entitled and uninformed views by people that don't contribute any code of their own.

I'm sad that the internet doesn't seem to make a difference between fully vibecoded low effort low quality projects, and experienced developers using GenAI in a very restricted, carefully reviewed way. Even further, some only use it as an additional code review method. If overburdened maintainers use it to get a leg up on delivering features while keeping the quality level up, that should be celebrated and not punished.

ed is the standard editor

That person maintains a list of slop-free projects: https://noai.starlightnet.work/
