But you did not publish them on Flathub either, right? The assumption is, that published tools have reached a certain maturity that is meant to be used by public. So if people don't use Ai, then they don't even publish unfinished projects they won't work on. I also don't need to use Ai to make mistakes. That does not invalidate the data and arguments made in this research results.
