Comment on As Ubuntu embraces AI, Debian discusses banning all AI-generated code
Quexotic@beehaw.org 23 hours agoI’m just jumping out of bed, but I’ll give you a quick answer. You’re right, in some cases it’ll be impossible to tell that code was AI-generated, but what you’ll have is the reputation of the developer. If any of their other code is AI-developed, then they would be suspect, right? So, I think it’s gonna be something like that, and, like with other things in the open source community, a matter of trust and respect.

Sounds more like detective work, than a coffee review
This will cost quite some time for the maintainers :-\

I mean, maybe it could be that, but what I think it’s going to end up being is more like a reputation thing, like an actual community with standards and basis for trust with vetted individuals that have a reputation of producing good code by hand, and testing it correctly.
Think of it this way. There’s already a standard practice for keeping people that suck at coding from trying to write code, right? I trust that the same community norms that got us this far will continue to do well. I also believe that there will be some that have reputation issues because of AI.
