New open-slopware list tracks FOSS projects adopting AI

Original: open-slopware – Alternatives to FOSS projects choosing to use LLMs/AI

A project called open-slopware, hosted on Codeberg, catalogs free and open-source software projects that have chosen to use large language models or AI in their development, and points users toward alternatives. The effort is drawing attention among developers debating whether AI-assisted code undermines the trust and community values of FOSS, with some welcoming the transparency and others dismissing the labeling as pejorative.

Why now: Developers are actively debating the role of AI-generated code in open-source projects and want tools to find AI-free alternatives.
