Reddit's r/opensource bans AI-related projects, sparks backlash, rival subreddit created

The r/opensource subreddit banned all AI-related projects, requiring posts to be at least one year old, actively maintained, and have multiple contributors. Non-English posts are also blocked. Moderators say current AI does not fit the open-source community, but critics call the rules too broad and vague, noting even the Linux kernel contains AI-generated code. A rival subreddit, r/TrueOpenSource, was created to allow AI projects.
