It is a bad rule. Their community and their choice but I hope we get some fresh options in the open source universe.

I don’t even mind forges taking a stance on AI. That’s fine. But I agree with Armin Ronacher here: banning projects that “mostly consist of code written by generative AI tools” is like the infamous Supreme Court “I know it when I see it” line. Yes of course I know a project mostly written by generative AI when I see it.

Fully agree. I am against AI slop, LLM overhyping, and cryto scams, as much as anybody, however:

> the main property I need from infrastructure [is for] it to be predictable, dependable, and reasonably neutral towards the legal Open Source software hosted on it.

I do not like to build on a foundation that could be ripped away from under my feet at any moment for arbitrary reasons.

> There are serious questions about copyright, labor, energy use, slop, and maintainers drowning in generated contributions. But

Way to not at all engage with any of that and just go on your merry way...

Sure, if you fail to acknowledge that the other side has valid points, it is easy to act like you're completely right and they are morons, and we all need to Kumbaya together, and forget about their views.

Exactly.

It is way too arbitrary and open to interpretation and biases.

No. They don't. This isn't a "you just have to deal". You can say no. It's OK to decide that it's not worth the smaller amount of positives to deal with the massive amount of negatives. If you disagree, start your own community.
