    Hell yeah! Get that shit… OUTTA HERE!!!

    Ok but seriously, that is a very good reason to ban it. Who knows what would happen if the AI just fully ripped someone else’s code off that’s supposed to be like GPL licensed or something. If humans can plagiarize, than AIs can plagiarize.

    But also, how are they still using CVS? CVS is so slow and so bad. Even Subversion would be an upgrade.
