There’s a meme going around that an Open Source project “can’t” prevent LLM use by contributors because there’s no technical means to enforce this. This is idiotic and shows just how disingenuous slopmongers will be when told they can’t just submit slop.

Did you know there’s also no technical means to enforce that you didn’t copy some code you’re contributing from a proprietary codebase and say it’s original work? Somehow we haven’t given up on that!

@eschaton Just enforce code quality. That'll pretty much eliminate slopomatic submissions on its own.

Better yet start enforcing formal proofs and safe languages to go with it.

@etchedpixels I don’t want LLM submissions wasting my time to begin with. If it’s not written by a person, and they can’t or won’t attest that it’s their own work, they can fuck off.
