The comments on twitter are weird as well ..
I mean the real issue I see is as maintainer I wouldn't want to open the door to that because I don't want to read through thousands of lines of AI generated code in future just to seed out the good one.
So now you will maintain the fork for years like the original maintainer did, right ? Or just look for another target to brag about ?
Wow, you sure showed that open source maintainer who’s boss! I bet they really regret solving 90% of your problem and giving it to you for free, now that you’ve paid the trillion dollar plagiarism-at-scale-as-a-service corp to slop out the last 10% and then publicly dunked on them.
