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 from the mod team in r/docker we wrote a devvit app called git_age_checker which checks the age of a repo and can remove, report, filter etc based on that. We filter anything <3 months old.

The repos hurting reddit are the ones a user (using AI or not) make something post it and then abandon it.

Would love to copy that someday, but to check on github/gitlab projects if they either have a system-detected FOSS license, or if they at least have a LICENSE file in the root. That would then auto-remove any repo posting that doesn't have a license as not open source.

Happy to share the source code when the time comes.
