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 a "No AI" Policy from another project, we ask that it be done respectfully and constructively (and do not mention this list).

For more information on why we think this list matters, please see out Why not LLMs? file.

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)
"No AI" Policy	A Policy in a repo that explicitly forbids the use of AI and does not contain any special carve outs for "finding bugs" or anything that condones AI usage
slop	Anything generated by AI, typically code, books, articles, or images.

Below are special definitions that are used for tagging purposes.

Vibecoded

Asking an AI to write software for you (often without human review). Per Wikipedia:

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 (co-founder of OpenAI) 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.

Tip

Humans reviewing vibecoded code does not disqualify said code from being considered vibecoded.

Sometimes people will refer to vibecoding as "agenic engineering". We will not be using that term in this repo, but that still counts for this tag's usage.
