Hi all!
A couple of weeks ago at a development meeting we settled on a change to the code of conduct regarding our stance on AI.
Here is it!
Expected Behavior
…
Usage of AI tools
- The community values the thoughts and ideas of others, using an AI to develop one’s thoughts is acceptable, but posting the output of an AI ‘as if’ it came from a human is not.
- AI slop and AI based low effort contributions are not tolerated and will be judged by moderators discretion on a case by case basis.
- Do not use any kind of autonomous bots (i.e. OpenClaw etc.) for any kind of interaction with the community or development!
- Ensure all AI‑generated text or code has been carefully reviewed and edited by yourself.
- Do not paste other user’s content or code into LLMs without their consent.
- AI tools, such as translators, may be used to help one participate and contribute to the community, but they should be used in moderation, or as a last resort. The community would rather engage with human imperfection than a confident machine.
…
Essentially: using AI as a tool is fine, using AI to generate code must be declared and you should put effort into understanding what it produces (more applicable to PR’s over on GitHub than here), and it is not acceptable to present a chat bot as a human. This reflects the environment and culture we as developers wish to participate in.
These changes are currently only visible over on GitHub and don’t apply to this forum, I don’t know if one of the @moderators wants to adopt it?
