Blanket AI bans are becoming the new slop.
is this a blanket ai ban though?
From the policy in the PR:
So... No, it isn't.
Note that there are times when using a LLM to create code is allowed. Reading the doc explains the nuance.
Agreed, but hopefully they're being used more for "Let's pause for now while we figure out a good way to filter out true AI-Code-Kiddies slop from actual programmers using it as a proper tool" rather than perm bans
Actual programmers using it as a proper tool should produce output indistinguishable from actual programmers not using it at all. That there even is (often) a visible distinction is a big part of the problem.
Notably, it even explicitly says in the proposal that it shouldn't require any policing. Instead, obvious cases are more important.
Yeah, that totally makes sense.
