How will you know for sure that code is developed by AI? Lets consider a new app: Case 1) 100% developed by a human Case 2) Developed by human with the aid of AI Case 3) 100% developed by AI What criterion would you use to judge the difference??? Are you not proposing to disenfranchise whole new generations of contributors? I suspect that in the future all or most coders will use AI for assistance? Heresy!! Lets stop this new form of discrimination NOW! On 8/21/2026 7:46 AM, Marco DE BOOIJ wrote: > > That is the great thing about Open Source, you can check the code > yourself.
