"The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited.
We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convinced that human effort results in better and more relevant contributions.
If you do use AI, we expect that you put in effort to proofread and improve anything it generates, and that you disclose what you used AI for. As maintainers spend significant time reviewing your code, please make sure that the code you submit is well-tested and functional. Please be respectful of their time and only submit something you have put thought and effort into."
I'm a professional developer like many here. Based on my career achievements, I believe I'm at least decent at that. I completely understand the revolt against vibe coded solutions because I've seen many questionable things coming from AI. But the people who copy and paste things straight out of the LLM are simply poor developers, the same ones who would blindly copy and paste snippets out of Stack Overflow into commercial systems.
I think partnering with AI makes me a much better and more productive developer. I'm completely dispassionate about the thing.I use it because it saves me time. The majority of the code is still mine but the focused AI contributions under my supervision are better than anything I could have come up on my own in the same period of time.
In other words, the false dichotomy is 100% AI vs 0% AI. I understand Godot because if they don't discourage AI, they know they will be in practice inviting 100% AI. This said, given how good Godot developers are, I know that many if not most of them know that AI can be extremely useful if applied properly.
