# Open Slopware
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives.
|
||
|
||
The intention of this list is to raise awareness of AI/LLM usage in popular open-source software. Provided below is an informed set of AI-free alternatives for users and developers to consider should their ethical boundaries be crossed or tolerance for risk be exceeded. This list is not a resource to be used for the harassment of other open-source developers. If you wish to advocate for the cessation of use and/or removal of AI-generated code from another project, we ask that it be done respectfully and constructively.
|
||
|
||

## Definitions
|
||
|
||
| Term | Definition |
|
||
|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||
| LLM | Large Language Model, a language model trained on vast amounts of text (often entire websites without the website owner's permission) |
|
||
| slop | Anything generated by AI, typically code, books, articles, or images. |
|
||
| slopshop | Company, Organization, or Group of sloperators working together to use AI to generate content. |
|
||
|
||
|
||
Below are special definitions that are used for tagging purposes.
|
||
|
||
### Permissive AI Policy
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A policy that permits the use of AI/LLMs in any capacity or is declared to be [vibecoded](#vibecode). Both vibecoding and opening the door for people to vibecode count as a permissive AI policy.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- an explicit AI policy (e.g. `AI_POLICY.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, developer docs) in the repo or something in the project's contributing guidelines or in their website's documentation that says that AI/LLMs are allowed
|
||
- an LLM friendly `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, or other such LLM instruction files or folders.
|
||
- core maintainers' blog or social media post about vibecoding
|
||
- link to readme, website, or documentation stating the project is vibecoded
|
||
|
||
> [!Important]
|
||
> If a core maintainer has noted that the code is entirely vibecoded, please put that as the *first* evidence link.
|
||
|
||
#### Vibecode
|
||
|
||
Asking an AI to write software for you (often without human review). Per [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding):
|
||
|
||
> In computer programming, vibe coding is a software development practice assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) such as by chatbots (programs that simulate conversation) or AI agents such as Codex or Claude Code. The software developer describes a project or task in a prompt to a large language model (LLM), which generates source code automatically. Vibe coding may involve accepting AI-generated code without reviewing the output thoroughly, instead relying on results and follow-up prompts to guide changes.
|
||
|
||
The term was coined by [Andrej Karpathy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrej_Karpathy) (co-founder of [OpenAI](https://openai.com/)) in February 2025.
|
||
|
||
A **Vibecoder** is a person who uses AI prompts to generate anything, typically code or images. It would therefore be appropriate to call Andrej Karpathy a vibecoder.
|
||
|
||
> [!Note]
|
||
> Humans reviewing vibecoded code does not disqualify said code from being considered vibecoded.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### AI Functionality
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This would include the ability to enable or disable an AI feature, such as an AI assistant or AI summary feature. This would also cover the case when a project depends on an AI program or library, such as an LLM SDK.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- a link to the docs explaining the AI Functionality
|
||
- a blog post advertising the AI Functionality
|
||
- a link to the default branch in a repo that shows where the AI Functionality is implemented
|
||
|
||
### AI Code Reviews
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
An AI agent/bot is used to review pull requests, which makes slop acceptance more probable and maintainability more difficult, especially when human reviews are scarce.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- a link to an AI code review requested by a maintainer.
|
||
- an AI code review CI workflow.
|
||
- a PR where an AI code review seems to be automatically created by some sort of third party app
|
||
|
||
### Gen AI 'Art'
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
AI "Art" is being used in a project. This is typically for banners, avatars, promotional material, and/or blog posts. This means they're using tools that steal art from visual artists.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- link to the place where the AI "art" is used
|
||
|
||
### AI Sponsored
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The project is sponsored directly by an AI company.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- Blog post disclosing AI funding
|
||
- link to website that lists AI companies in sponsors list
|
||
- README that says "Sponsored by <AI Company here>"
|
||
|
||
### AI Databroker Usage
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The use of an AI company as a third party service for processing user data.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- Blog post talking about using AI for processing user data
|
||
- Privacy policy listing an AI company as a third party service
|
||
|
||
### AI In Issue Tracker
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The use of an AI bot/agent for responding to Issues, Discussions, Forums etc related to a project's issue/bug tracking.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- Link to AI in an Issue, Bug report, Discussion, etc - must be related to the project's bug/issue tracking (e.g. dosu)
|
||
|
||
### Permits LLM Ingestion
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Permits the use of AI/LLMs to ingest the project's contents. This can be for "understanding the code better", "finding bugs/security issues/optimizations". This tag is to be used independently for projects that generally reject the use of AI in their code repositories, issue trackers, and sponsorships, but still encourage or permit users to use LLMs to ingest their code base.
|
||
|
||
The reason we still find this worthy of a tag is because it:
|
||
|
||
- means that the LLM, often provided by a company with very little respect for copyright, will then save a copy of that open source repo for use in it's future outputs.
|
||
- still encourages people to use LLMs and carves out a special situation in which they're still OK, but as this repo is against AI/LLMs for more than just "poor code quality" reasons, we still believe this is not a good course of action as it still promotes the use of inherently unethical tooling.
|
||
|
||
Evidence can be:
|
||
|
||
- An AI or Contribution policy that carves out a space for "using LLMs to understand the code" or "finding bugs"
|
||
- Core maintainer using or accepting the use of AI for finding Security issues
|
||
|
||
### Request for Help
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This means someone is asking for help with research. They would like it if you found the last known good version of a project or suggestions on alternatives for people to use. You can submit a pull request to add this info.
|
||
|
||
# Sibling Repos
|
||
|
||
This is a section for repos that are similar to this one either because they are also forks of the original upstream, or because they align with our goal of identifying and avoiding AI/LLM usage OR identifying/elevating projects that do NOT use AI/LLMs. These repos are not all maintained by the same people, but we may share some contributors and are generally kind FOSS neighbors. ✨
|
||
|
||
- [llm-afflicted-software](https://codeberg.org/ai-alternatives/llm-afflicted-software) offers a similar list to ours here, however in YAML file format for each category, making it more suitable to consumption via code (for instance writing a CLI, GUI, or TUI tool to consume it). They've also kindly reached out in the past and submitted Issues and PRs (e.g. [#12](https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/issues/12), [#22](https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/pulls/22)) to help us here.
|
||
- [forge.starlightnet.work/Team/No-AI/](https://forge.starlightnet.work/Team/No-AI/) which is the repo for this [no-AI list](https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html) that lists projects that have explicitly pledged not to use AI or have an explicit policy to not use AI.
|
||
- [slop-free-index](https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index) is a list of software that has taken steps to reject AI in its development processes.
|
||
|
||
> [!Note]
|
||
> This is a fork of a repo by the same name maintained by the @gen-ai-transparency org on Codeberg. If they make their repo available again, we will contribute back.

|
||
# Tainted Software
|
||
|
||
> [!Warning]
|
||
> We've recently added a "Last Untainted Version or Commit ID" column to our below tables. This is meant for tech savvy individuals to be able to fork the project and continue maintaining it without the use of AI. Choosing to install an older version of software could expose you to to security risks over time. Only do this if you are able to accept such risks.

> ### Package Manager Alternatives
|
||
> For most operating systems, there should be a default package mananager provided to you (e.g. `apt`). You may consider using this, or you can consider a manual installation of the software you choose. There's also the option of compiling from source. Cross-platform alternatives include:
|
||
>
|
||
> * [pkgsrc](https://pkgsrc.org/) - A framework for managing third-party software on UNIX-like systems. Used by default on [NetBSD](https://www.netbsd.org/) and [SmartOS](https://wiki.smartos.org/), but also available on Linux, macOS, and illumos.

# Why not LLMs?
|
||
|
||
Could use some help writing this with concrete receipts on environmental, social, political, and economic/labor harms.
|
||
|
||
## Legal Ramifications
|
||
|
||
LLMs are often trained on, and thus prone to, regurgitate either completely, or in-part, chunks of code that are licensed under terms which have specific legal requirements that a sloperator may not understand or even be aware of when making a contribution. Regardless of this ignorance, it falls to the repo's owner to comply with the terms of any and all licensed code integrated into their project.
|
||
|
||
### Legal Cases And Law Problems
|
||
|
||
* [copilot litigations](https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/), [IEEE article explaining how we go here](https://spectrum.ieee.org/ai-code-generation-ownership)
|
||
* [broader lawsuits against AI companies tracker ](https://chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/2025/11/02/tracker-of-tort-lawsuits-v-ai-companies/)
|
||
|
||
### License Problems
|
||
|
||
Legal, copyright and ethic problems arise especially with copyleft licenses such as (A/L)GPL. With the "help" of AI the copyleft code may be "license-washed" very easily.
|
||
|
||
There are ongoing problems with AI "license-washing" in the FOSS world:
|
||
|
||
* `chardet` - switched from LGPL to MIT license without asking all contributors (which itself is a violation of GPL)
|
||
* relicensed release: <https://github.com/chardet/chardet/releases/tag/7.0.0>
|
||
* original author's concerns: <https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327>
|
||
* "consumer's" concerns: <https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/331>
|
||
|
||
## Stolen Training Data
|
||
|
||
AI companies use data from across the web for training their models, most often without the website owners' and users' consent. Big tech companies like Google and Meta are scraping data from the users of major FOSS projects, such as Mastodon, WordPress, and other ActivityPub-powered and self-hosted software.
|
||
|
||
* In 2023, [the Washington Post published a list of sources in Google's C4 data set](https://archive.ph/eehKq). A multitude of fediverse instances and personal sites were included. The fediverse is known for its userbase being major proponents of privacy and opt-in consent, making this especially jarring for those who have chosen to use decentralized social media for control over their data.
|
||
* In 2025, [a similar leak of Meta's sources was published](https://archive.ph/NZlf3). Meta's list demonstrates how their integration of ActivityPub into their Threads software has enhanced their ability to mine content without authorization. Threads is widely blocked in some parts of the fediverse, but their scraping of server CDNs has allowed them to get around that. Notably, both the CDN domains of the managed hosting services masto.host and fedi.monster are included in the list; large servers like mastodon.art, which is hosted by the former and has many artists who've left sites like DeviantArt and others due to their AI scraping of user content, had [media unknowingly scraped](https://mastodon.art/@Curator/115022115346692178).
|
||
* In March 2026, [a research paper](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.20957v2) showed that simply finetuning LLMs unlocked exact verbatim recall of up to 90% of entire copyrighted books contradicting LLM companies previous statements in court that their models do not store copies of traning data. After finetuning exclusively on a single author, the researchers were able to unlock verbatim recall of over 30 completely unrelated authors across different genres. None of the models were explicitly trained on these books by the researchers, this indicates that LLMs always carry with them a considerable amount of copyrighted materials from pre-training.
|
||
|
||
FOSS projects listed in this repo are using tooling that blatantly disregard licensing and violate of Codes of Conduct, making said tools antithetical to FOSS' purpose.
|
||
|
||
## Environmental Impact
|
||
|
||
To start learning a bit more, you can checkout the wikipedia page on [Environmental impact of artificial intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_artificial_intelligence#Individual_level). We're very open to people contributing other explanations, links, and resources to learn more about this. Here's what we've gathered so far:
|
||
|
||
- [MIT News: Generative AI’s environmental impact](https://news.mit.edu/2025/explained-generative-ai-environmental-impact-0117)
|
||
- [MIT Technology Review: We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.](https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/)
|
||
|
||
## Labor
|
||
|
||
AI usage and normalization contributes to labor violations in many ways that are obvious and some you may not be aware of.
|
||
|
||
On one hand, many things that you think are "AI" are actually humans in another country pretending to be an AI chatbot for you for either extremely low wages or in some cases, no wages e.g. prison labor. This is particularly common for "friend"/"sex" bots, but it is also extremely common in the image/video identification. You can find a bit more info at the following links:

|
||
|
||
## Poor Code Quality
|
||
|
||
Vibe coding / agentic workflows result in poorer code quality, and relaxed oversight practices. These effects may be compounded by the common practice of using additional LLM-based tooling to provide code-reviews.

|
||
* [Amazon calls engineers for a “deep dive” internal meeting to discuss “GenAI”-related outages](https://ghostarchive.org/archive/3TfgF)
|

* GitClear has released reports in [2024](https://www.gitclear.com/coding_on_copilot_data_shows_ais_downward_pressure_on_code_quality) and [2025](https://www.gitclear.com/ai_assistant_code_quality_2025_research) indicating a worsening of key code quality metrics correlating with increased LLM adoption.
|
||
|
||
### Deskilling
|
||
|
||
There is increasing evidence to show that LLMs negatively impact developers' coding abilities:
|
||
|
||
* [Brains show less activity when completing tasks with LLMs](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872) compared to completing tasks with search or completing tasks without digital help.
|
||
* [Developers who use early-2025 LLMs reported higher subjective performance](https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-os-dev-study/), but were measured to have lower objective performance. This gap between subjective and objective performance was considered notable.
|
||
* [In an Anthropic study](https://www.anthropic.com/research/AI-assistance-coding-skills), learners using LLMs demonstrated lower learning rates on average compared to learners not using LLMs.
|
||
* [A recent study uses the term "cognitive surrender"](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6097646) to describe the way humans tend to offload key critical thinking skills onto LLMs, even when the output is wrong.
|
||
* There are [anecdotal reports of LLM users forgetting how to code](https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/767973/vibe-coding-ai-future-end-evolution).
|
||
* A paper entitled ["AI Assistance Reduces Persistence and Hurts Independent Performance"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04721) from April 2026 by academics from the MIT, Oxford, UCLA and Carnegie Mellon showed alarming evidence that performing a variety of tasks with the help of AI for approximately only 10 minutes causes 'inpaired unassisted performance and reduced persistence'. The researchers noted that "although AI assistance improves performance in the short-term, people perform significantly worse without AI and are more likely to give up", they also pointed out that "these findings are particularly concerning because persistence is foundational to skill acquisition and is one of the strongest predictors of long-term learning".
|
||
|
||
### Infosec risks
|
||
|
||
This also often results in massive security holes.
|
||
|
||
* [Meta Security Researcher's AI Agent Accidentally Deleted Her Emails](http://archive.today/2026.02.26-153034/https://www.pcmag.com/news/meta-security-researchers-openclaw-ai-agent-accidentally-deleted-her-emails)
|
||
* [Moltbook’s ‘vibe-coded’ breach is the future of security failures](https://thehill.com/opinion/cybersecurity/5744310-ai-powered-security-risks/)
|
||
* [In a study evaluating over 500k code samples, LLM-generated code was found to contain more high-risk security vulnerabilities than human-generated code](https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.21634)
|
||
* [LLMs make up package names, making them vulnerable to incorporating malicious code in "slopsquatting" attacks](https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/12/ai_code_suggestions_sabotage_supply_chain/) ([Arxiv study](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.10279))
|
||
|
||
## Health and Safety
|
||
|
||
There's been a number of high profile incidents that have resulted in endangerment or death. Here's some examples:
|
||
|
||
* [AI Toy Exposed 50,000 Logs of Its Chats With Kids to Anyone With a Gmail Account](https://archive.ph/dX5xd)
|
||
|
||
* <details>
|
||
<summary>Content Warning: Suicide</summary>
|
||
|
||
* [Wikipedia: Deaths linked to chatbots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots)
|
||
* [AI chatbot pushed a teen to kill himself, a lawsuit against its creator alleges](https://apnews.com/article/chatbot-ai-lawsuit-suicide-teen-artificial-intelligence-9d48adc572100822fdbc3c90d1456bd0)
|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
[LLM use has also been linked to new-onset psychosis](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12863933/).
|
||
|
||
### Ties to the War Industrial Complex
|
||
|
||
A lot of AI companies also work directly with nation states for use in their Departments of War (sometimes called Defense) which in turn leads to further AI usage during war and invasions. This is coupled with [NYT: Palantir, Anthropic and small start-ups are generating rewards from their investments in defense tech](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/technology/silicon-valley-war-defense-tech.html).
|
||
|
||
As another example [NPR: OpenAI announced Pentagon deal after Trump banned Anthropic](https://www.npr.org/2026/02/27/nx-s1-5729118/trump-anthropic-pentagon-openai-ai-weapons-ban) which was due to the USA Department of War [launching an AI acceleration strategy](https://web.archive.org/web/20260113071131/https://www.war.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4376420/war-department-launches-ai-acceleration-strategy-to-secure-american-military-ai/).
|
||
|
||
Due to the nature of LLMs being only kind of as good as the data they are trained on, this can lead to additional civilian deaths and housing/infrastructure damage either intensionally or not. Examples:

||

||

|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
All of this to remind you that if you use AI, you're helping to support these companies and the additional activities they participate in, outside of generative code or images.
|
||
|
||
### Effects on Policing
|
||
|
||
Police have quickly embraced AI, which has already directly led to people being jailed for things they've never done. As examples:
|
||
|
||
- [This Grandmother was jailed for 6 months after an AI error linked her to a crime in a state she had never even visited](https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/tennessee-grandmother-ai-arrest-error-north-dakota-b2938261.html)
|
||
- [How Wrongful Arrests Based on AI Derailed 3 Men's Lives](https://web.archive.org/web/20260111202754/https://www.wired.com/story/wrongful-arrests-ai-derailed-3-mens-lives/)
|
||
|
||
This is, in part, due to companies such as Amazon [Aggressively pushing police to use AI](https://web.archive.org/web/20260116082026/https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2025/10/01/inside-amazons-aggressive-push-to-get-cops-using-ai-surveillance/) which they do through both facial recognition and offering compute for predictive policing. With regards to facial recognition, here's an example of how it too can lead to false arrests: [Face Recognition on Flawed Data](https://www.flawedfacedata.com/#art-or-science).
|
||
|
||
There have been warnings about AI in policing, particularly around racial bias, such as:

### Maintainer Fatigue
|
||
|
||
Having to deal with the onslaught of many LLM written pull requests and issues, causes real maintainer burnout that stagnates projects as maintainers become overwhelmed with half baked, poorly written, insecure code. Here's some examples:
|
||
|
||
* [Overrun with AI slop, cURL scraps bug bounties to ensure “intact mental health”](https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/01/overrun-with-ai-slop-curl-scraps-bug-bounties-to-ensure-intact-mental-health/)
|
||
* [Godot maintainers struggle with 'draining and demoralizing' AI slop submissions](https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/18/godot_maintainers_struggle_with_draining/)
|
||
* [An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me (matplotlib)](http://archive.today/2026.02.19-045842/https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me/)
|
||
|
||
## Effect on Hardware Prices
|
||
|
||
The demand for construction and outfitting of new data-centers to host AI/LLM compute capacity has overwhelmed global supply and production of multiple hardware components. Memory, Storage, and GPUs have seen massive increases in price for both consumer and enterprise models upward of 400% in some cases.
|
||
|
||
The lack of supply has led large system-builders to purchase production capacity from OEMs well in-advance of delivery leading some manufacturers to end consumer-oriented product lines in favor of enterprise capacity.
|
||
|
||
The down-stream effects for consumers is that near all electronic devices which contain memory and storage will see their prices rise and availability decline. Those who already own existing electronics and computer hardware components may also find themselves unable to have their devices repaired or replaced under warranty.

||

|
||
- [The 2026 storage crisis: Why AI data centers are hoarding every hard drive on the market](https://www.howtogeek.com/dont-count-on-hdds-to-save-you-from-rising-storage-costs/)
|
||
|
||
This all results in shrinking the pool of people who have access to building home computers for any purpose, from gaming to coding to home labs, which in turn makes the tech industry less diverse due to people who have been historically marginalized having less financial resources to learn the skills at home. When this is factored in with the price of college being unaffordable in many places, we will see a sharper decline in disabled people, people of color, women, and the queer community entering the tech industry.
