Lol, just cause your name is on it doesn’t mean it’s your code. You didn’t write it. You don’t own the copyrights. You couldn’t sue someone if they stole it. It’s not your code.

Yeah, I get that it means “you’re responsible for it”, but the phrasing irks me.

I can’t wait for federation in Forgejo. With that, there’s honestly no reason not to host your own forge.

I moved all my repos (well, I have two left to move) to https://forge.sciactive.com which is also a self hosted Forgejo instance. It was a really easy process, and I’m really impressed with Forgejo.

AI slop app.

A snarky and insulting joke where the above commenter is the butt of the joke, calling attention to the bad faith response.

All large language model output, unless it is infringing someone else’s copyright, is public domain. Did you read the quotes from the copyright office I linked to?

I built and maintain an email service that has a no ai policy (https://sciactive.com/2026/01/21/our-stance-on-ai-in-email/):

https://port87.com/

Also, all of my open source projects (https://forge.sciactive.com/sciactive) use my SciActive Human Contribution Policy (https://sciactive.com/human-contribution-policy/), which bans AI contributions.

AIs don’t produce well organized code. They duplicate effort, which is tech debt. Maybe one day they will be able to clear their own tech debt. And who knows, maybe they’ll still be heavily subsidized by VC money then.

I have great news for you.

It has even less copyright. A prompt text you write, if sufficiently creative enough, is copyrighted. The output of an AI, no matter how “creative”, is always pubic domain.

You should try Lemmy. It feels a lot like Reddit did in like 2012. Small, but a great community.

And the difference is that humans will learn not to make that mistake anymore.

It very much is. It’s more like telling an intern what to do and then reviewing their code. Anyone can do it, and it results in (mostly) slop.

AI will be writing the code for shit-slop apps and libraries. The good ones will be written by humans.

Good for them. Keep your projects human made by adopting a good policy. I use this one:

I mean, look at the source. This is from an AI company.

That is _definitely_ copyright infringement.

You also really need to review its logic too, because it has a tendency to lack the full context of the code it’s working on, and make very silly logic mistakes.

That’s all well and good, but you can’t enforce a license on it. Code written by an AI is in the public domain. So the license you’re using is essentially meaningless, and anyone can do anything they want with the code.

Don’t worry. The license is unenforceable, since the code is written by AI. It’s in the public domain.
