alt Hacker NewsFrankly if a project asks for no AI and you try to use AI for it, then you kinda deserve this. Calling the inclusion of this sort of thing "smuggling" is placing the blame in the wrong spot

I guess we're giving up on the idea that you're free to do whatever you want with software you own?
Sure some project can tell you not to contribute AI generated code. But I see this as no different from DRM and user hostile

Even if you don't want prs that are ai assisted, sabotaging anyone who wants to fork your project doesn't really seem to be in the spirit of open source.

What if I use AI to just understand the codebase?
I used the term "smuggling" in the casual sense of hiding something. I have edited it to "place such identifiers surreptitiously" to avoid making whatever implication appears to have been taken.
