Looks for my username. Sees my 8 open repositories in there. Sees my poorly coded Uni projects are also in there.
Oh lord my code is actively helping making AI worse.
I checked out, it has some of my repositories. They crawled this stuff in 2025 and they probably won't update it. Whoever uses this dataset will have to deal with some super garbage, I tell ya.
Mission failed successfully!
Glad to be part of the crew with shitty code in Github to taint them plagiarism machines!
I'm doing my part!
90% of the code in my GitHub was written while I was stoned out of my mind, so I'm probably helping, too.
Woo! My crappy code and group projects are in there too!
May all AI generated code be in one giant main loop thanks to my influence 😈
Thinking back to the sins I've committed in C# as a high schooler... maybe I should start publishing my works. Put some poison in the soup.
Literally all LLMs are affected by GIGO. This is why everything it outputs sounds like a redditor.
you joke but someone has actually traced to one of my commits a specific behavior that people on the internet have been complaining from LLMs recently.
How did you hear about that? I can't imagine the odds, haha.
A friend of a friend saw the blog post about it and recognized the project name.
Can you share the blog? This is so funny
I don't want to link the one that would identify myself, but I found something quite similar:

Lmaoo
Hope some group makes it their mission to start flooding github with garbage code.
Microsoft is already working hard on this by shoving AI in everyone's faces
For some reason the included only the repo for my github profile that has no code in it and not the other ones, my guess is that they avoided me because of the GPL license on all my code
Spoiler
also, some repositories were my first projects so they are way more shit than the avarage AI code and it would be funny if they poisoned themselves and i have some archived project that also have shit code but only on github because i switched to codeberg and rewrote them
