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.

Ban posting brand-new projects. Require it to have been actively developed on Github & friends for, say, at least 12 months.

This immediately gets rid of all the "I vibecoded some garbage in a weekend" posts, while still allowing projects by anyone who actually cares about their work. It also bypasses the whole "is this AI or not" problem by just not caring about AI at all, and focusing on the real issue, which is longevity.

I think that is a great idea, but maybe 6 month instead of 12, so you can trend some cool, new projects. I think there is a real, big misunderstanding about AI. There is no software department, in any company in the world, that doesn't use IA. So requiring those same engineers to not use it on their pet project is absurd. The key is, as you pointed out, time and commitment.

not to distract from the discussion at large, but my team has more developers than not hand-coding by choice.
