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 human-over-ai, but LLMs are still welcome? That doesn't really make much sense.

I think clause 4." Copyright & Legal"
Nails the coffin on LLM generated code?

I read this as threading the needle: How to allow people who use IDEs where you can't remove the LLM integration to contribute but make it clear that if using that LLM for more than auto completion, it likely breaches clause 4.

@kinou @neil But that's more speculation here, since it wasn't actually written there. Policy that leaves many things up for speculation is not very good.

I didn't know how to do that! Can I share this with my friends who use vscode?
