I try to not be hostile towards AI-assisted FOSS projects, but I remain incredibly wary of it for this reason (it being abandonedware) and because if the dev themselves don't know why they have a piece of code in their project how can I trust that there's not some obvious security holes. Like yes, it's FOSS, "so you can check it yourself," and if I'm seriously considering using the software then I will do a cursory code-review. But I do enough of that in my day-job (and at least I get paid for this), I don't want to do it with my hobby too. I'm just so tired of all this AI/LLM nonsense to the point where it's been months since I've added anything to my little homelab or have even bothered checking out any of the new projects coming out
