However you feel about AI, pretty obviously not cool behavior. It would be functionally the same kind of targeted punishment if I had a hidden script in my open-source project that detected if you were on Windows and purposely bricked your machine in line with my ideological preferences. I could instead publish under a "Fuck Micro$oft License" that just forbids you from running it on Windows, have contribution guidelines that forbid development on Windows etc, instead of releasing malware.

Also seems bad for the long-term health of this project, given that the owner can't be trusted and that AI is not going away I wouldn't be surprised to see a fork take over.
