Using genAI is particularly hard on open source projects due to worries about licensing: if your project is under license X, you don't want to risk including any code with a license incompatible with X, or even under a license compatible with X but without the correct attribution.
It's still not settled whether genAI can really "launder" the license of the code in its training set, or whether legal theories like "subconscious copying" would apply. In the later case, using genAI could be very risky.
