I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months. How do you even modify and distribute that? I do not think we had a rule against it.

IMHO if we allow, the community gets drowned out by AI vomit and it is harder to see handcrafted loved projects that are easy to modify and distribute.

My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

Are folk in agreememt with this line? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Maybe start out with strict labeling guidelines. If it's AI then it should be labeled as such. If a user posts something that's Ai and doesn't label it then ban that user. Maybe a warning first up to you.

But if the choice is between blanket everything allowed or blanket ban I lean more toward blanket ban.

I think disclosure is the most important piece. I don’t create anything without AI nowadays, but I’m:

planning architecture
addressing common exploits
running penetration tests
having automated code review pipes from different models
directly specifying details of how the code should work

I’m not so sure everyone is doing that. And if anyone has advice on how to improve, let me know!
