- Godot is updating its contribution policy to ban almost all AI-generated code contributions.
- New contributors (with ≤3 merged PRs) must get explicit permission to submit major changes.
- AI assistance is limited to menial tasks like code completion and must be disclosed.
- The team cites demoralizing, low-quality AI PRs and lack of understanding from contributors.
- Contribution discussions must remain human-to-human, with no AI agents in communications.
- Context is highlighted as crucial in software development, which AI often fails to grasp.
