QEMU Shifting On AI Policy To Allow Some AI/LLM-Generated Contributions - Phoronix

"… second thoughts with a proposed patch that will permit AI/LLM contributions in non-critical areas.

This is coming as there is a shift in the balance of believed risk over LLM-generated contributions and now Red Hat feeling more comfortable on the matter. …"

<https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/574> quotes Bonzini:

"Until now QEMU's code provenance policy declined any contribution believed to include or derive from AI-generated content. A blanket ban was easy to maintain while LLM output was rarely usable on its own, but as the tools improved an absolute prohibition has become harder to justify. …"
