With free software you can validate the code quality and tweak and share code as you wish. With AI slop becoming more prevalent this means choosing quality software is much easier. This is especially true given that many proprietary software companies are switching to AI which will harm them in the long run.
In short, free software is human focused. It doesn’t have economic incentives for the most part so it will always be as good as the community around it.
I mean, there were plenty of shitty quality FOSS projects before AI, some of them even got popular. AI doesn’t have a monopoly on bad code.
I’d pull something, it would be a buggy mess and I didn’t need to take apart the codebase to figure out it was terrible.
