Open source game engine Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions: ‘We can’t trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it’

The Godot Foundation has decided to implement new guidelines to prohibit AI-authored code, pull requests from AI agents, and AI-generated text in communications between contributors. This decision follows concerns about the increasing number of AI-generated contributions, which have made code review more challenging for maintainers. The Foundation aims to reduce the burden on maintainers and ensure that all contributions come from accountable humans. The new policies will explicitly reject AI-authored code and advise contributors to use AI assistance only for minor tasks while requiring disclosure of its use. Machine translations of human-authored text will still be allowed. The Foundation plans to adopt a cautious approach to AI tools and will re-evaluate its policies as the situation evolves.

Popular PlayStation emulator clamps down on AI submissions: ‘Leave behind something useful to humanity when you’re gone, instead of peddling slop’

The RPCS3 development team has publicly addressed the influx of AI-generated pull requests (PRs) in their project, urging contributors to stop submitting what they call "AI slop code" and warning that they will ban those who do not disclose AI contributions. They expressed concern over poorly constructed PRs, particularly affecting their macOS build, and emphasized the importance of understanding the code being contributed. The team clarified that their issue is not with the use of AI code itself, but with the lack of disclosure. They have established new guidelines for AI contributions, allowing the use of AI tools for research and reverse engineering, but requiring contributors to fully understand and take ownership of their code. All communication with the team must come from human contributors, not AI.
