Pixelfed is now using AI, and I’m stopping recommending Pixelfed to anyone.

I’m not seeing any actual AI use in the linked commit. There are some instructions for how contributors should use AI (which is honestly a good idea for every project, even if you just say “don’t,” as it can reduce the amount of low-quality nonsense that comes in), but no actual evidence that the person who pushed the commit is using AI.
I really wish people would learn what actual AI usage looks like before they called “AI” on something like this. It weakens the case when people call out actual AI usage and abuse.
dansup may be an awful person, but if he is this isn’t why.
Claude writes its own skills. Or do you believe they wrote 11k lines of AI skills entirely without using AI?
People write things themselves sometimes, I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve hand-written 11k lines of code in the last few months, and a lot of that code got squashed into one commit. It’s not impossible.
Now, is it likely that it was written by AI? Sure. But I don’t see any proof, and absent any, I think that sounding the AI alarm is irresponsible.
Invitations to monetize at the expense of a product (and industry) and that of its users, (& eventually, very soon) vendors, investors & other partners and stakeholders and programmers! – enshittification – is in fact monetization. If it doesn’t seem that it has happened, that’s irrelevant because it is happening (in the absence of all due public oversight and sane, legitimate, critically necessary, transparent public regulation).
