I'll add my comment from a previous thread: This is a bit strange. Are they saying that Codeberg no longer accepts vibe coded projects at all? If so, it seems kind of short sighted. Within a very short period of time all code will be AI code. What then? And as the models improve, along with better code will come better bug fixing etc etc. So the quality of AI code will absolutely surpass that of human code. What then…

> Within a very short period of time all code will be AI code. This is unlikely. Perhaps “most code”, but not “all”. People can overwhelmingly shift to a new technology, but the old one usually remains in use, even if niche.

Once most code is AI slop, then the training data is tainted -- you know what happens when you eat your own crap ...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is mostly? >50%? >75%? What does "written by generative AI" means? Autocomplete? IDE-with-AI-normal-classname-completion? Everything not typed by a human. I personally don't find this clear at all and see many unhappy discussions in the future for Codeberg.

I think it's reasonable to assume >50% by default, unless the source clarifies what they mean by "mostly".

To me majority != mostly.

I was kind of thinking of switching to codeberg, but now I am questioning their decisions here. How do you distinguish a vibe coded project from a heavily AI assisted project? The output is AI generated code. The difference between vibe and agentic coding is how selective you are about the end result and not whether it is AI generated or not.

“Vibe coded” does not appear in the patch to the terms of use.

“You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools” would seem to clearly prohibit both vibe coded projects as well as heavily AI assisted projects, assuming both result in mostly AI generated code.

See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49004041

"All code will be AI written" is like saying "all code will be written in an IDE". That in itself doesn't matter, nobody should care,and it doesn't make a difference.

The workflow, or complete lack of a workflow, for vibe coded projects in terms of design, architecture, vision, etc.is the problem. The lack of oversight is the problem, and the lack of thinking by an actual human capable of thinking, is the problem.

This appears to be mostly due to fringe / activist views about copyright, rather than anything to do with quality or principle. If it was the latter I could get on board, as in instituting some standards against slop. But in reality it’s just letting activists hijack with their agenda.

That's just open source and software freedom views though

i wonder how they will detect it though. is there some good tool to tell them if code files someone submit were outputs or altered by LLMs?

I'd guess that it only matters once shit hits the fan (e.g. a copyright dispute or license violation). E.g. when the project owner claims that he wasn't aware of the violation because LLMs wrote all the code, Codeberg can simply point to the terms of use before deleting the project, which from their point of view is a quick and clean solution to the problem.

For starters they (those who submit) should not hide the fact. If they do, it is quite obvious to spot LLM generated code for anyone competent.
