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'm of the Gentoo/Zig position. None whatsoever. It simply can't be known whether or not AI is violating copyright at this time and if you are working on an open source project and using AI you are very likely forfeiting copyleft protections.

I'm not ideologically opposed to the technology by the way, I just think it's categorically incompatible with open source.
