What’s the point, if you can generate infinte code?

couldn't you always generate infinite code? just write more of it. but what open source lets you do is read the code for a particular piece of software, to see what it actually does. generating infinite code has nothing to do with that.

you could also do this before, but only with infinite time. open source value is shifting. open source is human-validated code. just OSSing generated code has no value.
