> There is no one in this World who will do things purely for altruistic purposes. Even if not for money, it would be for something intangible that ingratiates the Self (fame for example).

And pretty much none of that is threatened by AI. LLMs learning from code, or articles, found online, are at worst neutral to this, and in many ways beneficial. They're only negative if you're using your contribution as bait to hold your audience, in lieu of a more honest approach of openly selling it to them.

Or poison it. Open Source as a business model was always an anti-competitive hack, similar to "free with ads": drive price down to 0, destroying any other way of making money in this space, including "honest exchange of money for value".
