#Prav recently got a contribution for a high priority feature with a bounty.
This was generated using an #LLM and we don't yet have a policy on accepting or rejecting such contributions.
Currently the community is discussing formulating a policy on LLM generated contributions and meanwhile whether to give an exception to this particular contribution or not.
The topic is deeply controversial and we have different opinions in the community.
@praveen Why is it controversial? If the code does what it does, and is easy to understand, why would you not accept it?
If someone sends you thousand lines of vibe coded b.s. of course you must reject it, regardless of if it does what it claims to do or not.
If the contributor cannot be bothered to make the code easily understandable, LLM or no LLM, I do not see why it should take up your time.
@nilesh @h4890 I answered most of in my previous reply. Different people have different concerns at different levels. Copyright violations, unable to enforce copyleft, dependency on big companies, huge computing and energy needs, people losing jobs etc We will come up with a policy document that will address these concerns in depth.
@h4890 it is a principled opposition to the idea of llm. There are people with differing levels of opposition.
My primary concern is dependency on big tech companies. For me things like https://publicai.co takes care of major concerns as it is built on #FreeSoftware models and collaboratively run not for profit by multiple organizations, so concerns of power and bias somewhat addresses.
For others not respecting copyright of others and huge energy consumption also factors.
@h4890 @praveen licensing concerns?
