While open source (well more like “open weights”) cannot easily be enshittified they can absolutely be a stealthily made advertising tool.
For example : if you ask “how do I do X” it could recommand to you based on who paid the company making the LLM more money and you would be none the wiser.
For more obvious bias just ask Chinese models about Taiwan and other problematic subject to the Chinese gov and you’ll see. And the source code isn’t telling us anything about if the LLM weights encode some kind of propaganda, advertising or bias toward/against some entities.
