I see, is there a reason why you don’t just link to the GitHub repository (or better yet, use Codeberg)? Seems a bit strange to have the logo there when it goes to a different domain. This project looks like it could be useful.
Edit: I found the contribute pages, I’m assuming you did it this way for those that wish to stay anonymous (e.g: Tor visitors).
Is this a repost? I’m sure I saw a post like this already a few days ago.
How would you even verify “did this project use an LLM”?
There are different ways, checking if a CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or SKILLS.md file is present is often enough. Obviously this isn’t bullet proof but it’s better than no disclosure in my opinion.
disclosure tag doesn’t change whether the code is accurate, safe or good.
I didn’t say it has to be a tag, what I had in mind was a simple disclosure in the post description explaining how you used AI for the project (or just a simple “this project is AI assisted” if you dont know the extent, e.g: projects that aren’t yours).
I don’t necessarily have an issue with experienced developers using AI to write the code for them which is what I mean with “when not used correctly”. I do take issue with inexperienced developers that create privacy related software without proper knowledge of what their code actually does (AKA vibe-coding) and going around promoting it as “privacy-friendly” and “secure” while that may not be the case.
Maybe there are better ways to go about this though, which is partly why I created this post.
I don’t see how that relates to my question. 🤔 I’m asking because you say it’s “open source and community-maintained” on the landing page.
What about the source code? I couldn’t find it on GitHub.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I personally think it should be disclosed somewhere when AI/LLMs are used and optionally to what extent.
Did you build this with AI/LLMs? Also, where can I find the source code?
It’s hard to say with certainty, maybe I’m just nitpicking or the developer isn’t very experienced, but there are a few things that could hint towards it (for context, I’m a web developer):
<body> and for a <div> element<meta name="robots" content="index, follow"> but the robots.txt file that’s present does not match with its content<meta itemprop="..." ...>: I have never actually seen this attribute before, apparently this is meant for SEO but I don’t think any modern website uses itmargin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 60px;
margin-bottom: 80px;
var statements instead of let/constThat’s what I gathered after skimming through the index.html file.
Edit: I forgot to point out that the design of https://memdeklaro.org/ looks extremely vibe coded as well.
This looks vibe coded.
I agree, I think it would be better to use something like dependabot or renovatebot so you can know of and apply security updates right away.
This sounds hard to believe.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Telegram eventually ended up deleting someone’s entire “backup”.
It does seem odd to leave comments like https://github.com/homelabinator/homelabinator_unified/blob/a3301d01d732449ba65561c1033e158839e7244f/.gitignore#L66-L67 in. But aside from that, some of the code is also written in an unusual way imo.
I’m not sure if this also applied to the (now deleted?) original repository since this is a fork, but I agree that the name of the project is misleading.
The readme file mentions the following:
The intention of this list is to raise awareness of AI/LLM usage in popular open-source software.
So it is supposed to be a list of software that uses AI to any degree and leaves it up to the reader what to do with said information.
And to counter your argument:
If you are using the app, you know if it has AI features or not and if you have not noticed, why are you bothered?
It isn’t always clear whether features use AI unless you actively look for it. Some people prefer avoiding software that uses it to a certain or any degree.
If you think this is a bad list, then I believe that’s because you misunderstood it’s purpose, though I don’t necessarily blame you.
You could open an issue to suggest changing the name.
I suppose tone matters when trying to get your point across. 😄
Keep in mind that this project is likely vibe coded, or at least seems very AI assisted. (Copilot is mentioned in the .gitignore file and this was built by a single person in about 4 months)
A bunch of security issues have already been opened.

Edit: @just_another_person@lemmy.world already mentioned this, my bad. 😄
