RE: wandering.shop/@xgranade/11588

There should be a list documenting which open source projects are making use of "AI" code generation (eg: code stolen from other open source projects without following the licenses), and that list should track the last clean no-"AI" commit for future forks.

This is because I want to not run "AI"-generated code on my computer. If you disagree with this, you're saying I have no right to keep slopware off my computer, and in fact information must be hidden from me to prevent me from avoiding it.

I'll go further: If your code makes use of "AI" code generators, you shouldn't be describing it as "open source". There are source-available game mods of Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time based on code stolen from Nintendo servers. These aren't really "open source".

OSS/Libre/Free Software is a project to build a commons based on consensual collaboration. You can't claim those labels when your project has, via "AI" scraping, contributors who are unknown, uncredited, and unconsenting.
