Rule-wise, this seems fair.
Regardless, if AI usage continues to increase in this manner, I'll likely be driving NetBSD, AROS, and FreeDOS by the end of the decade.
Maybe even a little TempleOS or ZealOS, for flavour.
RedoxOS has a no-LLM policy: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-policy
It's just regarding labeling. It's unenforcable to have a project "clean" of AI.
No, it's not: https://old.reddit.com/r/Redox/comments/1rp57nq/redox_os_has_adopted_a_certificate_of_origin/o9ixfu9/?context=1
Ok I see the intent of BDFL is different, but the linked document only mentions labeling - I can only assume the low quality etc. issues are handled as a judgement call, and in that way I consider the "No AI whatsoever" rule unenforceable.
If I use an LLM to generate code under my suprvision, review, quality check and test to be up to standard, how would it be detected I used AI if I don't label it so? They'll look for em-dashes in comments?

Rules without enforcement are just self-deception.
