  • I think you may be misunderstanding the terminology here.

    AI is a general term. LLMs are a subset, as are ML, DL, ANNs, NLP, CV, Expert models, etc.

    Today you would define what we have as ANI, where the “N” stands for “Narrow”. This is also known as “weak” AI.

    What you’re referring to would be called AGI, where the “G” stands for “General”, where an AI would have a human degree of intelligence. This is pure concept today, and does not exist.

    Also on the list would be ASI, where the “S” is for “Super”, where the AI in question has more collective intelligence than humanity across all domains. This is purely hypothetical.

    But AI has existed for decades. The first application I know of is Dendral, which was created in the 1950s to analyze mass spectrometry data to identify organic molecules. This was what’s called an Expert model - basically a lot of if-then statements, and led to things like MYCIN.

    We don’t need to redefine words here.


  • That being said, it should be okay for users to call out an obvious grift, or a “nonsense repo” that’s actually pure slop.

    Especially if the disclosure is blatantly a lie, absolutely. I’d also say if you see any indicators that they are lying in the disclosure, its still worthy of reporting - but I would say report and separately message the “why”, to limit visibility of seeing those indicators.

    Just to point out a few projects that allow AI contributions:

    • Firefox
    • NodeJS
    • Chromium
    • curl
    • Go
    • InfluxDB
    • MariaDB
    • Prometheus
    • Linux
    • openSSL
    • Blender
    • Mattermost
    • Caddy

    If you want all projects related to AI in a different community, it may be easier for you to start “selfhosted_without_ai” or something.
