That’s not the same at all though. Complaining about AI “features” being shoved down users throat, and AI being used by developers are very different things.
Both can be complained about, absolutely, but they are completely different things.
If Microsoft was using all artisanal human written code to deliver all the AI crap, I wouldn’t be complaining about it any less.
If some idiot don’t automatically add AI slop and the developer have the actual time to check the new code before adding it to the distro release, then sure. Is not like they are forced to run pushing new updates full of slop just to make the investors happy and having the whole sistem flooded with bugs.
TBH I’m very happy with the state of Linux desktop as it has been for the past 3-5 years or so. If things enshittify I’m just gradually freezing the versions that I like for most things, except stuff that directly interfaces with the internet (kernel, nftables, browser, nix, git, ssh, rclone). My main hope is that LibreWolf keeps updating and doesn’t let in too much AI slop from firefox, and I’m reasonably sure everything else on that list is quite difficult to enshittify.

Good point
Yes, for sure.
But we will eventually clean up our AI slop code mistakes. I’m not so sure if Microslop will or not. It might not be profitable.
Also, the good thing of open source software is that anyone can clean off any bullshit code.
But can you clean it up faster than AI can create new bullshit code?

…I mean, who would be so stupid to do that? 😁
