Coming out of the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community this week, we have a Gentoo Wiki post and an update to NetBSD's commit guidelines that forbid or heavily restrict the usage of AI-generated code within these open-source Linux distributions. Considering how controversial AI is and how often it can turn around solutions that don't quite work correctly (especially for programming tasks), there are plenty of practical reasons for applying these new policies.
In NetBSD's case, "code generated by a large language model or similar technology" is "presumed to be tainted code and must not be committed without prior written approval." So, while their policy may technically allow AI contribution in the future, it won't be without human oversight to ensure the feature(s) actually work.
