> Bad AI drivers will be banned and ridiculed in public. You've been warned. We love to help junior developers learn and grow, but if you're interested in that then don't use AI, and we'll help you. I'm sorry that bad AI drivers have ruined this for you.

Finally an AI policy I can agree with :) jokes aside, it might sound a bit too agressive but it's also true that some people have really no shame into overloading you with AI generated shit. You need to protect your attention as much as you can, it's becoming the new currency.

I don't think ridicule is an effective threat for people with no shame to begin with.

Well, this is explicitly public ridicule. The penalty isn't just feeling shamed. It's reputational harm, immortalized via Google.

One of the theorized reasons for junk AI submissions is reputation boosting. So maybe this will help.

And I think it will help with people who just bought into the AI hype and are proceeding without much thought. Cluelessness can look a lot like shamelessness at first.

I think it makes sense, both for this, and for curl.

Presumably people want this for some kind of prestige, so they can put it on their CV (contributed to ghostty/submitted security issue to curl).

If we change that equation to have them think "wait, if I do this, then when employers Google me they'll see a blog post saying I'm incompetent" changes calculation that is neutral/positive for if their slop gets accepted to negative/positive.

Seems like it's addressing the incentives to me.

Doubly so as these bad AI drivers are trading away even the possibility of having attention. It's very possible to render yourself senseless through a habit of deference. Even if you're coming up with ways to optimize AI responses, you are just trying to make a more superior superior to defer to.
