gzdoom just simply banned ai code, and made a new fork that tries to stay clean. why cant they do the same?
Is all AI code tagged "hey, Claude made this puddle of piss code"?
This is a real "just catch all the criminals" type comment.
Much in the same way that laws don't prevent crime, a project banning AI contributions doesn't stop people from trying to sneak in LLM slop, it instead lets the project ban them without argument.
You got that wrong. Graf Zahl added AI code and all the other contributors left to fork it to create UZDoom.
