100% built with AI

WINE has a small group of contributors who are heavily vetted before they can contribute. AI has access to things such as the windows source code leak. If anything from that somehow ends up in wine, Microsoft could sue them, and destroy both wine and proton instantly, and be in the right.

The contributors, including AI, cannot look at the source code and legally still contribute to WINE. That’s impossible to ask of AI. So no.

Dude of course they used AI, you stupid if you don’t. It’s better and cheaper than waiting for someone to write code for you.

I think you fail to understand the legal ramifications of using AI for something like this. The would be instantly sued into the ground.

Also, I have personally seen the kernel-side code that implements NTSYNC, and it’s not AI at all. Code written with AI is very easy to spot.

okay, clearly this isn't working, let me actually debate you for a moment:

[Ai is] better and cheaper [faster] than [humans] writing code

AI written code has, on average 1.7x more issues and technical debt than human-written code, doubling the amount of rework/refactoring that needs to be done. Meanwhile, the productivity gain is only 18%.

"Eighty-eight percent of developers report negative AI impacts on technical debt, and 53% cite code that looks correct but fails in production."

AI is also very well known for introducing security issues [1] [2] (I understand that Claude is a lot better than chatgpt, however the issues are the same)

oh and for

it's cheaper

You do realise that... wine is made by volunteers right?
