Overview
- RPCS3 updated its GitHub contribution rules to require that pull requests, which ask maintainers to merge code, disclose what parts were generated by AI and what a human tested.
- The team says any submission without that disclosure can be closed without review to conserve limited time for unpaid maintainers.
- Contributors must fully understand and take responsibility for the code they submit, and all comments and messages must come from a human, not an autonomous AI agent.
- The policy follows a run of low-quality AI submissions that introduced bugs and slowdowns, which the team says forced reverts and extra cleanup work, and it warned that undisclosed AI "slop" could lead to bans.
- Maintainers distinguish responsible, LLM-assisted refactoring by experienced developers from unvetted code, reflecting a wider push in open source for provenance and human accountability.
