[return to "AI Usage Policy"]

At the Zulip open-source project, we've had a significant onslaught of AI slop in the past few months. It gets as absurd as PR descriptions with AI-generated "screenshots" of the app to "demonstrate" the changes. We've had to start warning contributors that we won't be able to review their work if they continue misusing AI, and occasionally banning repeat offenders. It's feels draining -- we want to spend our time mentoring people who'll actually learn from feedback, not interacting with contributors who are just copy-pasting LLM responses without thought.

Our evolving AI policy is in the same spirit as ghostty's, with more detail to address specific failure modes we've experienced: https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/contribu...

it's really strange, I maintain a lot of OSS and I just don't see it. I've had a bit of slop, and the # of PRs I receive has 10x'ed, but the quality is generally quite good. I wonder if maybe it's because I make dev tool CLIs that are just easier for AI to work with?
