This is in a PR where Shougo, another long-time contributor, communicates entirely in walls of unparseable AI slop text: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I’ve addressed all the issues:
Thank you for the feedback! I agree that following the Vim 8+ naming convention makes sense.
Thank you for the feedback on naming!
Thanks for the suggestion! After thinking about this more, I believe repeat_set() / repeat_get() is the right choice:
Thank you for the feedback. A brief clarification.


I like this approach, but how can it be enforced? Would you have to read every line and listen to a gut feeling?
Obviously you ask an LLM if any of it was generated!
Basically the best you can do is continue as normal, and if someone submits something that says it is or obviously is AI, point to this policy and reject it. Just having the policy should be a decent deterrent.
It’s okay, we’re just not going to tell you 👍
People submitting malicious or deceptive code to open source repositories isn’t a new phenomenon. Just know that if you do it with any name in any way attached to your real name, and anyone finds out, you can kiss your reputation in the software dev community goodbye.
Also, if you don’t admit that it’s AI generated, and it turns out to be copyrighted code, you’ll have a fun time in court trying to defend yourself for copyright infringement by admitting to fraud.
Good luck proving it
You’re a special type of uninformed, aren’t you
Same mindset as “You don’t need a perfect lock to protect your house from thieves, you just need one better than what your neighbors have.”
If a vibecoder sees this they will not bother with obfuscation and simply move onto the next project.
No, it’s a prejudiced hot take that’s completely and utterly unenforceable which will be seen as some Luddite behavior in 10 years when everyone is using the tooling.
Tell us how you really feel.
I did. And you’re worried about clankers being able to comprehend as well as a human 🤣, good Lord the bar is low.

Ok that’s really funny and I do agree with you, but I think you might be coming at this a little… unhinged. The issue with this is that it is unenforceable and honestly somewhat pointless. If AI tools are not up to scratch, then that will always be reflected in the quality of the code. Bad code is bad code, it doesn’t matter what made it. A lot of people seem to think AI is synonomous with bad code, and if that is the case, simply ban bad code.
The issue they are going to run into is twofold:
Firstly, what qualifies as “using AI”? Admittedly I haven’t actually read their licensing, but I’m just going to take a guess and say that it bans all forms of AI used anywhere in production. Almost every compiler I use these days has auto predict. It’s rarely useful, but if it does happen to guess the rest of the code I was already going to type, and I accept that, did I use AI to assist my coding? Back in the day before it was an llm the auto predict was actually decent, so not all of them use AI. How would you even know whether your is AI or not?
The second issue is an issue of foresight. When the AI tools do become up to scratch, that will be reflected in the quality of their code. Suddenly AI generated code is faster, more efficient, and easier to understand all simultaneously. Anyone using this license is effectively admitting that theirs is the inferior option.
It’s always hilarious to me when people ask whether something is AI slop. I dunno man, has your ability to detect whether something is good been reduced to AI slop? If it’s good, it’s good. If it’s not, it’s not. Either you like it or you don’t. Feels very similar to transphobes saying they can always tell. If that’s true, and AI really is always going to worse, you should never have to ask whether something is AI slop, you should just be able to tell. Otherwise it’s just slop, no ai necessary.
So two things. First, it’s a policy, not a license. Second, the definition of AI generated is very clear in the policy.
I don’t know why you would criticize it without reading it, but the main problems with AI generated code are legal, not quality related, and they are also clearly laid out in the policy.
That kind of troll language doesn’t work in this forum. Cya 👋
Yes it does. Folks who just want to screech went crazy. Like, two of you actually engaged and brought valid concerns. Y’all are a CRAZY prejudiced bunch and hate being called out just as much as the next shit flinging monkey tribe.
You actually think Lemmy is better behaved 🤣🤣🤣🤣
