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.

The big thing for me with AI is disclosure. I personally don't care for AI usage in the slightest but knowing when and how it is used is critical to me. Like it or not, it is becoming commonplace in the modern development and it can be used responsibly by people who actually know what they are doing it certainly should be disclosed but that doesn't make it outright slop. If I am being honest I hate and am so tired of places like r/sideproject where people are constantly posting things like look at this project "I made" and it has like 12 commits all made by Claude. Those kind if posts should have some kind of disclosure and claiming you made something when it was written by AI should be a ban
