ArXi:2409.08379v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Large Language Models (LLMs) are reshaping knowledge work, yet their impact on voluntary, self-guided open innovation forums (contributors choose tasks without managerial direction) may differ fundamentally from effects observed in organizational settings. We study this question in open-source software development, where individuals' contributions collectively drive innovation at a community level.
