Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

There's a bit of drama going on with the popular game manager Lutris right now, with users pointing out the developer using AI generated code via Claude.

@bit @blazefade Thank you both for your recommendations! I recently did a full install of Linux Mint 22.3, had problems with my usual of PlayOnLinux, and discovered Lutris. It worked great, but I won't tolerate the use of AI.
@KoHoSo any views on heroic launcher? As far as I know it isn’t ai.
@blazefade I am not familiar with that one. All I can say is that I haven't seen any fuss about it.
@KoHoSo Changed to Bottles. There is a nice flatpak available, goodbye lutris.
@KoHoSo as a Linux gamer I tried and didn’t like the program. Heroic launcher seems to work well for me. The day lite is runs smoother and holds better support for games I might then reconsider. Biggest issues need fixed is the cloud saves and the achievements.
@KoHoSo you could test faugus it’s similar

@KoHoSo People seriously need to calm down on the anti-Ai crusade.

Yes, there are lots of ethical and moral reasons why to stay away from AI. It requires a lot of energy, impacting the energy production demand which in the end can impact the environment. Yes, this is bad. And a reasonable argument against AI.

But the people on the barricades wanting full transparency on whether a code change was made by LLM or not, that is nonsense. Open source code can be audited by anyone interested. Judge for yourself if the change is good or not. As long as generated code has been properly peer-reviewed, it doesn't matter who or what wrote the code. The code was accepted as good.

Where it makes sense to highlight LLM involvement is when the code audit/review is done entirely by LLM. LLMs can help review code, but it should not have the final say.

If LLM has been used for coding has very little to say as long as a skilled human has been involved in the process, in regards to the code outcome.

But don't mix in the moral/ethics part into why LLMs shouldn't be used for coding. Those two aspects are two very different discussions. That is as pointless as to say we can't use roads initially built for cars when biking, because the intension of the road was for car usage.

LLM use in code is a technology debate. The ethics/moral aspects of AI use is a political discussion.
