    Baldur Bjarnason (who hates AI slop) has posited precisely this:

    My current theory is that the main difference between open source and closed source when it comes to the adoption of “AI” tools is that open source projects generally have to ship working code, whereas closed source only needs to ship code that runs.

      That’s basically my question. If the standards of code are different, AI slop may be acceptable in one scenario but unacceptable in another.
