Generative AI, namely LLMs, image and video diffusion models and especially the companies that make them plague the tech industry.

We got tired, so we decided to take things into our own hands and curate a list of projects that aren't complicit in the devaluing of labor by these companies.

Unlike projects that came before us, we want to highlight software that values the labor that goes into creating and not call out projects that use LLMs or Image/Video Diffusion models.

I think some things are mixed up here. Like Librewolf obviously meant AI features of the browser, not AI-assisted commits.

    Okay this list seems... Quite shit if I'm going to be honest.

    They list there for example Oracle's Virtualbox software, with evidence pointing to a PR that was rejected because it was extremely shit quality, full AI generated code, description etc. also the developer hasn't signed the contract with Oracle that allows Oracle to use the committed code in proprietary projects

    Some projects here will be marked like such: ✱, ✱ or ✱

    Oh wow, that must be some of the worst colour coding I've ever seen.

    Yes, I have that. Still, this is one of the worst cases I've ever encountered in the wild.

    Will be checking out Vim Classic. Drew DeVault's blog post about the motivations behind it resonated

    This should merge with the other one. Or contributions should flow both ways.

    Either way, I'm going to recommend the software I use for writing for inclusion based on their AI policy here: https://ellipsus.com/generative-ai

    They're a Google Docs alternative with a freemium business model. Important features offered for free with some nice bonuses if you pay. The pay options are interesting: $100 gets you a lifetime license, $60 a year or $6 a month gets you a lifetime license and it's yours after 2 years of payments ($120 or $144). As in, it's a subscription but a timed one. I pay monthly but after 2 years they'll stop charging me. I'm doing it that way because one, I won't miss $6 a month taken out right after I get paid and two, I believe in their cause and position on AI and their business model.
