Once Stanton revealed his identity and stood behind his work both @rimu@piefed.social and I apologized and offered our help. That's all we're asking for, and it's not a lot to expect someone to stand behind their product.
Generative AI brings out the laziest behaviour in some people. They don't even read responses they just paste it in to the LLM and copy-paste the output. The mismatch in work is not something I abide by.
Some coward last month had their OpenClaw agent with a god complex let loose on another OSS project and when the bot got rebuffed, it wrote a hit piece on the maintainer. The bot owner was (by their own admission) hands off on the whole matter.
So, no, I am not at all going to be patient and accepting when a supposedly fully-formed piece of software is launched with zero prior reputation, no attribution, and shows telltale signs of AI usage. It trips all kinds of flags, and I will be wary of it.
