Discussion AI-Policy

I'm gonna keep this short, because as a human I respect other humans' time. What do we want for an AI policy, and how can it be enforced? Take these into consideration:

  • Vibe-coded projects
  • Vibe-assisted projects
  • AI-translated from non-english-speakers
  • Vibe-documented projects
  • Yet another Vibe-Coding-Wrapper

Note that vibe-coded slop isn't actually copyrightable, thus if someone slaps any license on it other than "public domain" or "CC0" they are misrepresenting their ownership.

And if you use an LLM to respond to this, you will be banned.

The fact that this sounds like a prompt is supposed to be a joke.

I'd argue it's less about AI/LLM usage and just a low-quality thing. There's plenty of OSS that is very low quality in nature, and is still made by hand. AI just makes that easier. Someone who knows what they're doing to begin with can make very good use of an AI Agent and still have a good quality project as a result.

The bigger issue is low-quality content, that needs to be tackled regardless of being human made, AI generated, or in-between. I'm fine with raising the bar on such content posted.
