clearly forbid LLM-generated contributions · Issue #12676 · twisted/twisted
Now that we are starting to get LLM-generated contributions (#12665, #12673) we should have a clear policy so that people do not waste their time generating code with LLMs for inclusion in Twisted....
GitHubI've had a lot going on and have not wanted to have this difficult conversation with the community, but apparently we have reached the point where it absolutely needs to be laid out clearly. To be honest I am still kind of shocked that anyone would consider it acceptable to start putting LLM output into open source libraries at all, just purely based on IP concerns alone. The way that the vendors' IP indemnification works only makes sense for proprietary code.
This is definitely going to alienate some existing community members who don't agree with me on this, and further demoralize a community with precious few volunteer resources. So if you're the sort of person who'd like to see more projects adopt this stance and NOT get burned by a collapse in contributions as a result (and are not ALREADY spending half your life maintaining AI-free forks, you know who you are), consider helping draft policy language and jumping in to review PRs or fix bugs?
