It's not my decision wether lutris has ai code in it or not. The maintainers and contributors can decide what works for them, that's how open source works. I never found a use for lutris and maybe that's why I don't care.

If it's good I don't care. Those people know what they're doing
Someone please fork Lutris so we can make a sanitary version without this filth !
I would never use the product, just for that very line...
Oh great the campaign of harassment is continuing. Keep going guys, hopefully you can get another dev to quit a project, and I know none of the people commenting here have what it takes to fork and maintain it.
You wouldn't be doing anything different if you were getting paid by corporate interests to hurt the open source movement. Great job you can be proud of yourselves.
Well either does the maintainer it seems. And I don't believe we look at all code. It is hard to understand someone else's code hell its hard to understand your own after awhike.
Edit: To preface this, I concede that targeted harassment against individuals isn't a good solution to the problems I have with the way the technology is being used.
Others mention that some recent versions appear to have been unusable. If this is due to LLM-generated code and the dev doubles down on using it, I'm not sure there's too much value in them carrying on development and burying more artificially generated foot guns in there than human coding tends to have already.
That aside, the climate, economic and social problems of the GenAI boom are hardly unknown. For the dev to ignore that is... distasteful. If they won't quit using LLMs without also quitting the project, Lutris might end up another regrettable victim of the AI-Slopalypse.
Opposing GenAI isn't trying to hurt the Open Source movement, it's trying to call out the false messiah that has deluded some people into believing it's the future of software development.
Opposing GenAI is free. Do it. It just consists of not using the software you don't agree with. It's great I do it all the time.
Coordinating attacks on social media to harass a developer is not great. It's 4chan-like but at least the 4chan goblins know that they are the bad guys. This is just as slimy but with none of the self awareness.

That doesn't mitigate the environmental damage caused by others using it. I'm not opposed to the technology, nor strictly to its application, but to the irresponsible wau it's being handled currently.

You're right, I agree on that. Efforts should target the companies that offer it, rather than individuals.

I'm not sure the 4chan goblins actually believe they are bad guys so much as ironically embrace that image
