AI tooling must be disclosed for contributions

You should not just be open to being transparent, you need to understand that there will be times you will be required to be transparent about the tools you’ve used and the ultimate origin of your contributions, and that trying to evade or even push back against it is a huge red flag that you cannot be trusted to abide by your commitments.

If you’re unwilling to stop using slop tools, then you don’t get to contribute to some projects, and you need to be accept that.

What tools did you use to generate this response? Please include the make and model of the devices, and what os and browser you were running, including all browser plugins and other code which had screen access at that time.

Tell me you don’t understand the problem without telling me you have zero fucking clue about the problem.

Your blanket determination that the tools themselves are slop generators is an attitude I'm definitely not interested in engaging with in collaboration.

Tough shit, if you want to contribute to a project where I’m a maintainer or above you in the corporate org chart, you’ll have to deal with it.

That you refuse to engage with it just raises red flags about what other rules you might be willing to violate if you don’t see a risk of getting caught.

I'd way sooner quit my job / not contribute than deal with someone who projects on me the way you have in this conversation.

Enjoy being found out for fraudulently passing off work you didn’t do as your own then.

Ironically as a practice I'm actually quite transparent about how I use LLMs and believe that destigmatising open conversation about use of these tools is actually really important, just not that it's a useful heuristic for whether or not some code is slop.
