Yeah, I think the room is divided. You got a lot of upvotes. In fact I think you mainly got upvoted?!? Seems those people think you did alright. Some people also disliked something about it.

Sometimes you can't make them all happy. I'd say be as transparent as possible. Just be honest. It doesn't really matter whether random internet people think you are. What matters is what you are. And you're the one person who knows the facts. Just be genuine and upfront. Set your assistant to reveal itself in the commits. Add information in the Readme about what's AI and what's human. Add a paragraph on if you're planning to maintain the project (you did that). That way everyone knows what to expect. And then have fun coding stuff. Stay positive. If a handful of people tell you they're using your stuff and they're glad it exists, you probably contributed something to the world.

Edit: Similarly, if someone like me decides to question your coding style, you're free to have a conversation about it. Or decide not to discuss it. That's up to you. I just opened a conversation. And by your usage of words like "fuck" and "shit" I figured you'd be open to a more direct conversation style, so I just skipped polishing my sentences and just straight up said what's on my mind.

    I think NGram has a good point. Your conversation style is a contributing factor. You'll engage in all kinds of arguments about details. Sometimes the dialogue drifts to a personal level... And that just ends you up at opposing sides with other people. And tricky discussions about disagreements.

    We can have a bit of control here. Usually good advise is to focus on positivity. Talk more to people when you think it'll lead to something constructive. Cut conversations short if you think they don't go anywhere... At least that's how I do it. Not all the time. I also love picking fights (sometimes). But it is a bit tricky to judge what's a reflection to own conversation style, what's legitimate opinion and what's just wrong facts. If we even know the real deal.

    And then AI is a polarizing topic. People have strong opinions towards it, for good reasons. And we'll read about all of them on most online discussion places.
