I mean... they are
isn't that the point? not as if "AI" leads to higher quality is it
> Certain more esoteric concerns about AI code being somehow inherently inferior to “real code” are not based in reality.
if this was true why the need to point out "we're not vibe coding", and create this process around it?
fork and move on

Why did you remove your original comment of "time to use another password manager"? Do you lack the courage of your convictions? Why not make the change yourself?
Why don't you fork it and maintain it, if AI generated code offends you so much?
Anyone can criticize. Be "the man in the arena". Live up to the values you speak of. Stop using any code that might ever have been AI generated.

because I thought it was a bit mean spirited and toned it down, thanks for bringing it back

We did not create this process for AI, it has been our process since 2016.

My great concern with regards to AI use is that it's easy to say "this will not impact how attentive I am", but... that's an assertion that one can't prove. It is very difficult to notice a slow-growing deficiency in attentiveness.
Now, is there hard evidence that AI use does lead to this in all cases? Not that I'm aware of. Just as there's no easy way to prove the difference between "I don't think this is impacting me, but it is" and "it really isn't".
It comes down to two unevidenced assertions - "this will reduce attentiveness" vs "no it won't". But I don't feel great about a project like this just going straight for "no it won't" as though that's something they feel with high confidence.
From where does that confidence come?
Code submissions either meet the standards of the project or they don't. Whether it was generated by human or AI is irrelevant.
