I think given the scale @godotengine.org is now at, this is an incredibly incisive approach to combat generative AI's awful impact on people, code, and communication. Also focusing the ban policy on access & pull requests is a smart way of eliminating huge parts of the problem in a practical way.

My preference personally would be that it wasn’t used at all in the project but if the maintainers are *set* on using AI I do think this is the best policy. Not gonna stop using the engine though. I trust the maintainers and know they’re working to make Godot the best it can be.

I think they’re set on not using AI, but it’s impossible to enforce a “nobody use AI at all” policy for code in 2026, especially for small PRs, like that one which was AI but only added a single = If you outright ban something it’s harder to catch small things that slip through the cracks

Nah some of the maintainers use AI. They’re definitely comfortable using it. Again not a total dealbreaker for me given that they’re still focused on good code quality and stuff but still not my preference.
