Godot Bans AI-Generated Code: Human-Authored Only

Godot has banned "autonomous AI agent use or vibe coded" contributions to its code. They now require all code to be human-authored. Here's the thing: The Godot Foundation stated that a large number of AI-generated contributions were overwhelming their reviewers. The effort to create a "pull request" has decreased, but the work to review them has not. This has compounded an existing shortage of qualified reviewers. What's interesting is that AI contributions are also seen as demoralizing. Reviewers feel their efforts are wasted if feedback is only absorbed by a machine, rather than mentoring a human contributor. The new policy prohibits autonomous AI agent use, vibe coding, and AI-generated substantial code. Using AI agents or "vibe coding" already results in an auto-ban from their GitHub repository. This matters because it shows how some major open-source projects are adapting to the challenges presented by AI-generated content.
