A list of open-source software containing slop (LLM generated) code or endorses the usage of LLMs in other ways.
This list contains software that obviously accepts irresponsible coding practices or promotes LLM usage. I found these applications while searching for alternatives to previously used software that turned out to contain code generated by slop-machines.
Each of added applications have at least one link that points to the verifiable proof.
This list by no means is meant to cover all the software that contains code by not-so-intelligent tools and people using them but to serve as a reminder to myself about what I have already checked.
Why having LLM generated code (and using generative tools in general) is bad?
I will try to add links that back up the claims above, but it may take a while.
Of course, I see how and where generative tools could be helpful and sometimes I feel tempted to find an acceptable way to use them, but for now the direct and indirect costs far too much outweigh gains.
This list has its positive counterpart: Slop-Free (Supposedly) Open-Source Software (not quite complete yet). Also take a look at and give thumbs up to AI Slopfree Software Catalog which contains software dedicated against usage of LLMs.
Also, here is a list of some labels that can be added / voted for so they would eventually appear on application pages:
Reproxy is a simple edge HTTP(s) server / reverse proxy supporting various providers (docker, static, file). One or more providers supply information about the requested server, requested url, destination URL, and health check url.

Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server. The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and reasonably fast.

Well before long You guyswont be ableo use hardlyany software. Incase ofcourse you build itall by yourself which that could take months years. aI APPS are not allgood but there is alot that are good. Its a technology that is getting better, and i seriously dont understand just what the hell your worried about so much or that access to data this data that. You been using Google at all over the past 20 years, well if you have they already know everything about You, and your still here and your ok, aint nothing apocolyptic happened to you has it. But of all things "Zed editor", comeon with that, that dude that created it used to work at microsoft as a sofware engineer, i surley think that he knows how to code rather well and wouldnt be allowing BS into his new projecr. lOTS AND lOTSOFDEVELOPERS USE IT EVERYDAY andthere are no problems with any of these softwares that you have mentioned. I have not seen anyof them inthe headlines of a news broadcast. Youmust seriously have some internal undisclosed reasoning for a such a exhibit of paranoia. I respect that. but instead of just slamming every other software under tHe sun , why dont you consider explaining to people in a detail about WHY your saying these things ad why you feel this way and elaborate on the immediate or prolonged dangers of exposure to this "software". Whats wrong with doing that. P.S Claudes a beast. I Cant speak for all LLMS but Claude, i mean why You hating on Claude for. Thats ridiculous.
Vikunja is using LLM to support development of core functionality: "For the development of Vikunja, we're using LLM-Assisted coding tools in various parts of the codebase. Most contributions made @tink-bot are built that way." https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja#vikunja
This is insane, list made by some frustrated individual, just get use to it and if you dislike it so much don't use any browsers, better stick to temple os.
Yes, I am frustrated. Frustrated that there are so few people that recognise the vast negative impact of this stochastic, parroting, unethical technology that the big tech is trying to force down everyone's throat. Seems that you are frustrated as well. Why is that? And why?
I started to make this list to note down applications that I have checked and I want to avoid, otherwise I would check them multiple times. While the list has already grown quite large, there is still much to check.
And no, I will not get used to this technology, but that might become quite hard since I am working in IT, but I will do as much as possible to reduce the impact as much as I can (for example, running models locally, ideally they would have open data sets and be small and domain specific).
You know what they say: "It takes one (frustrated) to know one" XD
I wouldn't necessarily call this a list of AI-slop, but more apps that has has some form of LLM-use during its development. AI-slop is mostly concerned with low quality and mass production. But interesting list nevertheless.
Yes, I can agree that the wording may not be on the point. Probably “tainted” would a better term as it covers wider range, but from the other side — a tiny slop still is a slop.
@Edgars All software is tainted these days by compilers
@Edgars Normally, I'm reserved with AI, but would go so far as "tainted". Now that I've been involved in projects that leverage it to some extent and working with teams to build governance, my viewpoint has shifted. I'd probably say tainted would apply if the developer skipped a PR review or two. It's an interesting technical and ethical discussion, and I'm sure everyone has an opinion on it. But still, I'm glad you put in the effort to make this interesting list. It's definitely the beginning of something.
Correction. Was meant to say: but wouldn't go so far as "tainted".
Vela Maps is Vibecoding
Added.
Thank you for your suggestion!
Have a look at:
Ente Photos
Ente Auth
Ente Locker
Ensu
HeliBoard
Nuclear
Ente does have AI. Although Non-Gen AI, it's only used for photo search only on the photos app. Ensu is its on device AI app though. Can't say much about it because it doesn't respond for me.
Here are some music players which are AI slop:
Thank you for your suggestions!
From these I currently have added only Mtoc, others not (yet), as while they might have signs of LLM usage, I could not find any linkable evidence. If you have links with proof of LLM usage, it would be nice if you shared them.
