This project does not allow contributions generated by large languages models (LLMs). We are taking these steps due to:
- The potential negative influence of AI generated content on quality, developer alienation from their code and skill rot.
- Legal complications such as the inability to claim copyright and ensure others’ licensing and copyright have not been violated.
- Ethical concerns including but not limited to those regarding intellectual property theft, environmental impact, the effect on already-marginalized groups, devaluing labor for the purpose of concentrating power among the billionaire class, etc.
This ban of AI generated content applies to all parts of the project, including, but not limited to, code, documentation, issues, and artworks. An exception applies for translating texts for issues, discussions, and their comments to English.
When I am translating from Japanese, I find that DeepL is the most consistently understandable and accurate. I have copy/pasted many an article from Comic Natalie into translators to compare with what Anime News Network writes, and that is my experience.
