No genuine good open source project is dying because it is getting replaced by LLM slop code. People that need stable and secure software and know what they are doing would never use LLM made software.
What LLMs do destroy is peoples patience in dealing with bug reports and forum communication. Those are getting overrun with LLM generated garbage replies.
It burns you out pretty quick. I have a popular library and had to turn off gh issues. So many llm/fake bug reports. Huge waste of time and effort. Github has gone downhill.
