Are you human? Or are you malware?

Source: Dev.to

Context

Someone opened a GitHub issue on my Excel MCP Server project questioning if I’m actually human. The reasons behind this assumption included:

• High commit velocity
• An AI‑generated demo video
• Consistent structure and documentation
• The belief that my work might be AI‑generated or even malware

Response

My response was straightforward: I’m human — I just use AI tools very deliberately. GitHub Copilot helps me build faster, and tools like HeyGen enhance my communication.

This interaction highlighted an important realization: the line between “human work” and “AI‑assisted work” is already blurry — and that’s okay.

Open source is evolving, developer workflows are changing, and trust models will need to adapt as well. These are interesting times to be building software in public.
