Automated Code and AI
The wording and general tone of this policy is taken from FastAPI
You are encouraged to use all the tools you want to do your work and contribute as efficiently as possible, this includes AI (LLM) tools, etc. Nevertheless, contributions should have meaningful human intervention, judgement, context, etc.
If the human effort put in a PR, e.g. writing LLM prompts, is less than the effort we would need to put to review it, please don’t submit the PR.
Think of it this way: we can already write LLM prompts or run automated tools ourselves, and that would be faster than reviewing external PRs.
Closing Automated and AI PRs
If we see PRs that seem AI generated or automated in similar ways, we’ll flag them and close them.
The same applies to comments and descriptions, please don’t copy paste the content generated by an LLM.
Human Effort Denial of Service
Using automated tools and AI to submit PRs or comments that we have to carefully review and handle would be the equivalent of a Denial-of-service attack on our human effort.
It would be very little effort from the person submitting the PR (an LLM prompt) that generates a large amount of effort on our side (carefully reviewing code).
Please don’t do that.
We’ll need to block accounts that spam us with repeated automated PRs or comments.
