Updated my actual-budget container today, and met with authentication failure - I am locked out of my budgets.
I turned to the github repo for troubleshoot, and… Noticed that their commits are pretty much dominated by AI now.
At least they seem to be being up-front about their AI usage by tagging commits with the tag, but it still feels icky to me.
(As a ‘bonus’, their only support channel is on discord - but I guess that’s the norm for many open-source projects.)
Is this fact of life now? Are most projects being written and managed by LLM nowadays? Not sure I can trust the projects nowadays.
Is there alternative budget app which does not involve LLM?
You haven’t been keeping up to date on the damage they are doing to existing projects have you? Ask the team behind curl how useful the slop submissions are. They are reaching breaking point just keeping up the flood of crap. It’s not that LLMs will out compete, they will overwhelm and infect.
I have been following the curl issue for quite a while. I think that it’s different from what I wanted to tell you here. Curl is getting too many PRs that are AI generated and the human maintainers can’t deal with them all.
What we are here seeing is people using coding agents and LLMs to help with their own work. So it’s a different kind of thing. You can also imagine a situation where projects are getting hammered by AI bot traffic, but are getting also helped by using LLMs with their project itself.
