It wasn't ai assisted coding, it was vibe coding from someone with no real coding background. A communication protocol can't be vibe coded, how do you enforce security if the person is unable to understand what the tool created?

Especially when they try to hide that they were using those tools in the first place

In that context it is quite logical to take a trademark out once the project is mature enough so you can profit off other people's work.

Considering their user base does not like the hidden vibe coded idea I don't think this is bias but a sane rationalisation.

There’s a lot of framing in how questions are asked. I’m going to bet asking the community “Would you like more features if they’re made using AI assistance?” is going to get wildly different results.

"AI assistance" isn't really an honest representation of the claim of what happened is, though.
