That has been the case for the last, oh, decade or so. Where do you think LLMs learned to slop code?

Things have been bad, but every company using its own bespoke LLM reimplementation of rsync and similar is so, so much worse.

Why would every company do it though? They'll just all be using the same (Anthropic's) AI-enabled fork.

You think Anthropic wants to be the sole maintainer of thousands of forked OSS projects...? I seriously doubt that would happen, for legal, marketing, and logistical reasons alike.

Anthropic, probably not. I could totally see Altman or even Musk deciding to do that exact thing as a showcase of sorts.
