<p>Simply choking them up is probably sufficient; if you limit how many commits and changes per commit can be made, limit how many PRs one can have open (or even just not closed) at a time, and limit the length of content in those PRs to a couple paragraphs, and autoclose everything that doesn't fit with a message putting the blame on AI garbage, the signal eventually gets big enough that they will start producing adequate content.</p>

<p>from TFA:<p>> The Foundation says we can expect Godot's contributing policy to soon include explicit rejections of AI-authored code, noting that contributors should only use AI assistance for "menial things" and must disclose its use. Additionally, the Foundation will reject any AI-generated text in human-to-human communications, saying it's "a basic principle of respect"—though it says machine translations "are still acceptable" if the original text was human-authored.<p>As long as your bots aren't contributing low-effort garbage in a push to give their operator some of those tasty internet brownie points you should be fine</p>

<p>here's alternative legislation that should be at least as effective without the mass surveillance aspect:<p>*  as your kid's legal guardian you're legally liable for whatever the fuck your kid does, including but not limited to harming themselves: Parents should care for their kids<p>* platforms will do their best to not be available to minors unless minors are actually their core audience, will inform monthly how they did that, and the bottom 10% of achievers will pay an escalating percentual of their valuation as fine for each instance where they're found lacking: Platforms should care about kids as a category of people<p>* posession of personally identifiable information about an unrelated minor by any unrelated person/company without a clear and preapproved reason is grounds for a child abuse investigation on every person anywhere in the chain of custody of said data: Children's PII should be such a hassle to manage it's not worth taking</p>
