It’s fun to share what you create. A FOSS project enables use, reuse and make it better. Even from scratch again. I love seeing new nice Foss projects that work. It sometimes gives some inspiration and input for renewed thinking.
AI generated code isn't FOSS. No human created anything, no human understands the code (because no human wrote it,) and no human will learn from or edit the code, or even bother reading it. It will only ever be interacted with indirectly through a closed-source and proprietary code generating service, and actual human knowledge and experience will be lost. This is antithetical to everything FOSS stands for.
“ AI generated code isn't FOSS” Foss is just a license on software code. Do not make a Foss license bigger than what it is. Just do not do this… Even AI slob under a Foss license meets the four core freedoms based on definitions from the Free Software Foundation.
What is going on is you get a lot of people who pretend or actually have domain expertise who want to make something. The problem is that there is no real guarantee of actually having the expertise or taking the time to make something that is decent. Thus you get someone who either knows a lot about wine for example or has a hobby about wine who wants to make a wine site. They then try to make a wine site and depending on their motivation make something terrible or if they are obsessed something which is somewhat decent after a lot of effort. The other problem is that AI is very hard to make anything above B grade material. You need a technical person to help to make a commercial grade site. Thus you get a lot of mediocre sites, some truly awful sites, and a few slightly above average sites. The other thing that goes with this is that there is no control over the veracity, accuracy, normalcy, or radicalness of the sites being created. It is turly anything goes. People want to show what they are interested in or their expertise...
The only problem I see is with people who don't understand why other people do things they don't understand. AI is changing everything, including how, what and why people share the things they generate using AI. It's foolish to think that, moving forward, anything will make sense seen through the lens of what was in the past. The landscape is changing and many people react by asking 'Why is this happening??'. It's happening because everything has changed and nothing will ever be the same again. You are experiencing paradigm turbulence. Measuring the new state of things against the old rubric.
That might be an issue for the software dev in general, I fully agree with you here, but my question was not about it. I don't understand the motivation for publishers of those projects. They literally don't gain anything positive in return by announcing the project. Sometimes the community pushed back, but more often just ignores the posting as spam.
There is no such thing as “the community” . There are people who like,dislike, use or neglect what you publish online. If you want positive feedback in public of published Foss software you will be disappointed very fast. Sharing is imho mostly not done for anonymous people, but for friends, colleagues or anyone in the universe who might benefit from the Foss software or idea!

Because the field of software is destroyed and full of slop by making it more and more and more accessible to more people.
This isn't inherently bad but it is much harder to see what is worth paying attention to.
We have done this to ourselves (as software engineers and those who work with code) because of FOSS.
The value of software completely has gone to zero.
