Now that AI has become the main tool used by developers to write code, even in open source environments, it will be how feds will slip in backdoors to applications because nobody is going to review the logic of 20000 lines written by AI in a single commit.
Unless projects completely ban use of AI and only allow small commits, this is going to be inevitable. I’ve been seeing so many applications merging AI slop to their code on github already.
It seems as though the issue in your scenario is the size of the commit. Not necessarily how sloppy the code is. Although I don’t care for AI so I’m with you, but, you know, my brain demands logic and such.
Don’t worry, AI bros can also do “10000 unreviewed commits in one Pull Request”
There is a problem with open source apps that have teams developing them like Linux, Signal and Firefox. Those teams can choose to develop using AI.
