Open-source maintainers are increasingly wary of AI-generated code due to quality and security concerns. You'd build a tool that scans codebases for AI-generated patterns and flags them for review. Maintainers would pay for this to ensure their projects adhere to strict coding standards. Start with a basic scanner for common AI-generated patterns, then expand with more sophisticated detection. The biggest risk is false positives, so accuracy is critical.

Why now
With AI-generated code being banned in some projects, maintainers need tools to enforce compliance.
