Weaknesses

  • Could be a README section rather than separate hosted page

Open source maintainers wanting AI transparency

Post Description

Hi HN,

Here's a little website for a hobby project I have, and maybe the AI use disclaimer on it is useful to others.

I believe it's a fundamental duty of open source maintainers to disclose the extent of their AI use on a per-project basis.

The usual discussions here devolve into "this is vibe coded" for tools which may or may not be, and it's not great. I greatly dislike vibe-coding, but I believe in responsible tool use, such as responsible use of AI.

The linked page is CC0, feel free to copy/take inspiration from, and do whatever you like. Only link back to the original if you want to.
