A new free, general policy to ensure a project only accepts human authored contributions. Released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, so anyone is free to use and modify it.
I’ve started to add it to my projects. Eventually, it will be on all of my projects. I made it so that any project could adopt it, or modify it to their needs. It’s got a thorough and clear definition of what is banned, too, so it should help any argument over pull requests.
Hopefully more projects will outright ban AI generated code (and other AI generated material). Feel free to share it with any projects you think might be interested, but please do not be pushy if they don’t want to adopt something like this.
If this is not something you’re a fan of, you absolutely do not need to adopt it in your project. This is for projects that want to ban AI contributions, which is their right.

Before anyone thinks of jumping in here to shout “luddite!” or “embrace AI or get left behind!”, this sort of policy is exactly why none of those epithets matter. Because as long as a wide variety of software projects ban generated code, that is the status quo. We can all debate the merits or demerits of a future world where AI-generated code projects as well as banned-AI code projects exist side-by-side in the world, but what is not up for debate is that this bifurcation has now become the norm.
