Members of #Codeberg decided to ban repositories that uses #ai:
"You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools [...]. Such projects having an unclear copyright status [...] and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code [...]."
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/commit/71149c7fc95ccfeae36109b5cddca339e4aa1473 and
https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html
This suggests like any human-written code does not contain parts that do have unclear copyright status or harmful code.
I do not agree with that rationale.
The survey had no option like adding ai-labels so that people might decide on their preferences or other options. It was basically "#LLMs are super fine", "LLMs are the devil" & "I don't want to decide".
To me, this sounds like religion where you've been told what to think. Such people can't be reached by arguments any more.
There are good arguments against #LLM but we've partly left this kind of discussion as it seems. I'd avoid such communities.

@publicvoit@graz.social the copyright argument and the review argument are two different claims wearing the same policy. banning by who typed it is a proxy for was anyone accountable for it, and proxies like that break down fast, plenty of unreviewed human slop ships with zero scrutiny too, it just doesn't have a label to ban.
