Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

@neil can the provenance of any LLM generated content be guaranteed?

@requiem @AVincentInSpace @neil

i don't trust anything ai generated

that doesn't mean i automatically trust anything human generated

but certainly one has the pretense of care and consideration, while the other is YOLO

@benroyce @requiem @AVincentInSpace @neil I'd say it's YDEL (You Don't Even Live) if the slopmachine is a chief actor.

Edit: scratched yodeling connotation. I respect the art too much.

@requiem @AVincentInSpace @neil Yeah, you'd have to train it solely on code you know you have the rights to. I'm not sure whether or not you'd need to make sure it doesn't look like anything you don't have the rights to, but you probably should unless you have the funds to argue your case in court.

Certainly anything that's produced by an LLM trained on GPL code would have to be GPL licensed.
