nikodindonI built a local AI movie recommender for Radarr using Ollama
Built with Claude by the looks of things. Not sure if Claude was used to generate the boilerplate and whether the dev reviewed it after or whether Claude did all of it, but definitely Claude was used for some of it. I recognise the coding style that Claude outputs and the bugs that it implements that will cause TypeErrors if not handled.
FWIW, I’m not against using AI as an assistant for coding (I do it too, using Claude and Vercel as assistants) just as long as the code is reviewed and understood in full by the dev before publishing.

A very sane take. I do wish devs would fully disclose this on their github or other. That way, if the project is seasoned, well starred, et al, and the dev used AI as an assistant, then the user gets to decide. Given all the criteria are met, I would deploy it.
I will say that I have observed what seems like a pretty decent up tick in selfhosted apps, and I would be willing to bet a goodly amount of them have at the very least, used AI in some capacity, if not most/all code. I don’t have any solid evidence to back that up but it just seems that way to me.
Yeah. Maybe it’s time to adopt some new rule in the selfhosted community. Mandading disclosure. Because we got several projects coded by some AI assistant in the last few days or weeks.
I just want some say in what I install on my computer. And not be fooled by someone into using their software.
I mean I know why people deliberately hide it, and say “I built …” when they didn’t. Because otherwise there’s an immediate shitstorm coming in. But bulshitting people about the nature of the projects isn’t a proper solution either. And it doesn’t align with the traditional core values of Free Software.

Tho I chafe against rules and regulations, I realize they are necessary.

Me too. It’s why I try to carefully pick seasoned projects, and I don’t jump on the bandwagon just because it’s a new twist to an old solution. I selfishly want others to be my beta testers. LOL Hey, I admit it. Also, I am truly thankful that there exists in the community, those who can and do look at the code and understand the issues involved. I do not possess those skills. I know a limited amount of code and use it for me locally. I would never dare publish it tho. I’m too afraid of what the ramifications would be should someone use my code and the wheels fall off their server. I would feel very responsible. It’s the reason I do not even publish my notes to a wiki of some sort.
