    He’s made it clear that this discussion is invited, so I don’t feel like I’m overstepping by continuing to engage. If he states that I’m no longer invited to participate or the discussion is no longer welcome on his platform, then I’ll stop.

    According to the US Copyright Office, the AI is not just a tool. So, with regard to copyright, the code it produces is not yours, and is not protected in any way by your license. As stated before, he is aware of this now and is fine with the new code in Lutris not being protected by the GPL.

    I agree that I’m not entitled to any of his work (as long as he doesn’t violate any of my copyrights), and that he is not obliged to provide me with anything. (Although technically the license he chose to use does entitle me to his work, but whatever.) But that knife cuts both ways. He is not protected from me spreading the word about his use of AI generated code, and especially not protected from me finding bugs in his project written by the AI and telling people about those.

    I’m not interested in starting a fork. First, I’m not a Python dev, and second, I already manage several large open source projects, and one closed source one.

    There are also other projects that are alternatives to Lutris. As long as Lutris is being filled with AI code, I will recommend those alternatives, and try to get others to do the same.
