While i dislikes ai i think it’s one of the only ways to create a foss software with a small time with a reasonably small number of people. But this does indeed just look like a no-effort ai post

And I get it, I do, but I think what rubs me the wrong way is how cagey the dev is about AI disclosure.
Use it for your project, it’s open source (which allows me to see that AI is being used) and free to self-host. Like I mentioned previously, I do see the dev being pretty responsible about their usage from the few merge requests and individual commits I looked at.
Personally, I feel like FOSS is built on a foundation of trust, and I find it very hard to trust a dev/project that (in my opinion) lies by omission. So, while I won’t use/contribute/pay for this project, I’m not judging anyone who does and I wish y’all the best. At the end of the day, it’s your time, effort, money (if you donate and or pay for the hosted plan), and or hardware (if you choose to self-host).
Especially, after fiascos like Booklore (another project I now feel vindicated for writing off early) and the general trend of enshittification for almost all software and services, can you blame people for being a bit more skeptical?
