@malwareminigun@infosec.exchange I'm new here so I don't exactly fully understand the AI contributions thing. I use gpt6 astra to do all my web design and use it like a typewriting monkey, but all the pitches, jokes, and arguments come from me and I retain full editorial control until I'm happy. AI certainly has its place, it's just not to automate someone's social media feed, I would think.
AI is incredibly good at coding, and I'm still shit at python but thanks to using AI to write python for me for years now I've learned to read it through immersion. I guess I'm not someone who hates AI contributions. If AI got the job done for you, puritanism about never using AI seems...well...a bit silly, just imo.

@bpfitzgerald@infosec.exchange I mean, I don’t have an issue using it because I did. This isn’t about whether the policy is reasonable. It’s their project and they can set that policy if they want. This is about what happens after I realize I’ve fucked up. I’m also asking about this because I strongly suspect this won’t be the last time. Since we started hanging those tools check vcpkg packages they have caught a LOT of bugs, including this one. But I do strongly care about contributors to other components not hating me/us
