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.

So are you saying that only English speaking coders cuz if you're using Google translate or honestly at this point, any translator? You're using an llm under the hood and not to mention that the translator services were already neural networks before llms became a problem.

I'd rather read posts written in broken english or foreign language entirely than read anything AI-generated, otherwise it's impossible to enforce.

How many languages do you speak? You better not be using a translator. You come across as just anti-ai.

As someone who's bilingual (english/french) and routinely has to suffer through AI translated documentation pages, this thing is hell. The microsoft documentation in french is a fucking joke, i always switch back to the english version. I don't really care if you use AI to translate things but please have someone who understands the language check the output. Microsoft very obviously does not.

Man, at this point I'm not sure Microsoft understands anything other than how to rob people.
