Well, my issue isn’t with what contributors might do, but that you personally hid all AI contributions and I can’t even assess your coding quality that way.
As it seems, you slopped out multiple thousands of lines of code and haven’t shown me any proof you’ll be able to maintain this pile of autogenerated nonsense.
I know it feels like work hitting Enter ten thousand times, but it really isn’t helping. I’m very glad you put in an AI disclaimer! It’s the right thing to do and this means I can judge the project so that I don’t want to try it. I’d just have preferred a bit more transparency in terms of AI contribution, because I’d have tried it if I thought you’d be able to maintain it.
I’ll just put a reminder in my calender to check back in a year if you abandoned it or if the project is alive and kicking still.
You can use a raw disk in VirtualBox. Just make sure you install an initrd and kernel which has drivers for all of your hardware. If you let something autodetect hardware, it will detect the virtual hardware, not the real one.
