NetBSD bans all commits of AI-generated code - eviltoast

New development policy: code generated by a large language model or similar technology (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) is presumed to be tainted (i.e. of unclear copyright, not fitting NetBSD’s licensing goals) and cannot be committed to NetBSD.

    I mean, generally rules at least are to strongly discourage people from doing a thing, or to lead to things that WOULD prevent people from doing a thing.

    A purely conceptual rule by itself would not magically stop someone from doing a thing, but that’s kind of a weird way to think about it.
