Contribution Guidelines Regarding LLMs
-
Hi all,
I don’t believe this has been asked before but apologies if it has. For a final project, I’ve been tasked with making a contribution to an open-source project, and I’ve chosen Notepad++. My class has a policy that in order to use AI tools for this assignment, the project must permit it. Having read the contribution guidelines, I haven’t found any explicit reference to AI code-generation, so I wanted to see if anyone could clarify whether or not this sort of practice is permitted. Of course, the code itself would be adherent to all of the contribution guidelines. -
I don’t think the project has an official stance. But code submissions are highly scrutinized, and coding standards are strictly enforced. So if you want any chance of it being merged, you’ll have to be sure it does exactly what it claims on the tin, and that you understand exactly what the code changes are doing.

How about just using your human brain to do the code changes?
Or is today’s student’s first thought to solving every problem to just turn things over to AI?I retired from the software development world mid-2023 after 33 years of no AI.
I’m glad not to be in the working world with AI. -

Does that mean you don’t use the Windows OS anymore? You know that Microsoft is just another AI company, right?

I didn’t mean that I run and hide from anything that AI is touched or influenced by. That wouldn’t be practical.
