From another OSS author: Just let it blow over. Don‘t engage. Ignore it. You‘re already making a mistake justifying yourself to people you‘ll never convince. Leave, for a time.
Just for recap: this guy copied another project, had a LLM modify it a bit and presented it as his work.
The only credit he gave was saying the original project was inspiration.
Then he deleted and banned the original author posting proof that it was a rip of and not just inspiration.
So I welcome him leaving and reconsidering.
Really coming to an AI sloppers defense, huh.
