Refusing security patches and bug fixes because an engineer chose to use an auto-complete engine you do not like is categorically negligent. Might as well mandate everyone use a special editor too. Probably emacs. I know a kernel developer sitting on a bunch of AI generated 0day patches for Zig they have not submitted since it is against Zig policy and they do not want to deal with the drama. That is what these policies do. Zig and GCC have endangered their users for the sake of keeping their hobby running the way they most enjoy, and thus they are now hobby projects. Imagine a mechanic that insisted on only using parts forged by human hands with a hammer. You can call that masochism, or hand crafted art, but you cannot call it responsible engineering. We already switched our linux distro (stagex) to be LLVM native this year. Better compiler by far, but now have even more reasons to support the choice. Disallowing AI contributions is as irresponsible as allowing them without review. | ||
