@arendjr @thephpf yeah good point. Not sure if it’s so black and white.. in „my“ project there are certainly contributors who are maybe new to Typescript and use AI to get code explained and potentially improved but still their main goal is to learn and collaborate. If part of their journey is assisted by AI, who am I to judge?

@jzakotnik @thephpf yeah, I’m not saying we have to judge it as a black and white thing that applies to all developers. But keeping our eyes on the ball, the question was: should open-source work be recognised as volunteer work? To which I will say that no, it should not. Because the main beneficiaries are no longer the humans seeking to collaborate, but the corporations who benefit from AI at both ends.
