The "AI Not Welcome Here" is interesting at the bottom of the Readme.

This is a pretty hard stance to take when creating an OSS project. The author made an open source, MIT-licensed repo. Right now, the statement reads "I wrote this all myself". Does that mean the author is not willing to accept PRs?

Or will we see something like a DCO that developers make an attestation that AI was not used in creating the change?

He says, "all the code in this repository _that_ was written by me" was, if fact, hand-written by him rather than auto-generated by a tool like copilot.

I read it as he is open to contributions and if you want to use AI that's allowed but he notes that he does not and he provides a rationale to boot. Fine by me.

Love the thought mentioned the warning section https://github.com/MrIceman/go-uml#warning---ai-not-welcome-...

I don't. It's fine making a personal choice to not use AI, but to go on to just openly insult anyone who uses AI is absurd and too far. Everyone is allowed their choices and we should respect that. The doom-whispering is not charming or insightful, good grief.

Agreed. I use AI to speed up my work and love the process of discovering new ideas.

I was referring to the following line.

"Just like people stopped walking because they commute by cars and trains, which caused an increase in obesity and illness"
