We've been getting a lot of AI coded submissions recently, as well as lots of reports asking to remove them.

Should we remove these posts, or not?

You're missing the point he's trying to make IMO. He's questioning if software can be categorized as open source, if it is coded by closed source LLMs, that in turn only aquired their database by stealing someone elses intellectual property. It's a valid question. OSS is more than just "I can see and fork the code".

    But humans do basically the same thing and their brains aren't open source either

    I truly meant it as a debatable question. If LLMs didn't have massive proven negative ecological and societal impacts, I'm not sure which way I would lean. Since they do, I have a clear personal opinion. But it's just that. My opinion.

    Humans also have massive negative ecological and societal impacts depending on the person/society. I don't see how whether a human or LLM writes code changes how open source it is.
