Forgejo disallows LLM contributions, including using a "general AI" (they include LLMs under "general AI") for reviews[0]:
> 5. Using general AI for review is forbidden. If the change contains changes to the UX it has to be approved by a human reviewer.

The rule you quoted is about code reviews, they don't want you using an LLM to write reviews or leave comments.
This is a pretty poorly written policy to be honest, so I understand if you interpret it to mean "no LLMs in any capacity", but I think if that's what they meant they would have said that. In fact they explicitly allow content "made with the help of AI", you just have to disclose it.
>Vibe coding is the practice where AI creates a code change (feature, bug fix, tests, refactor) with a human that describes what needs to be implemented.
So if you let an AI prompt another AI without human input, that's not vibe coding? Meanwhile if you prompt the model with pseudo code you've written or code written in another programming language to translate into the target language, that's vibe coding?
>It is not allowed to use AI in an autonomous-looking way to contribute in Forgejo.
They used the word "in", meaning it could refer to organizational membership, their repo or theoretically any instance of Forgejo, including self hosted ones. They failed to specify what part of Forgejo or the definition of Forgejo they meant.
Overall this is a pretty poorly written document and when you think about it, it doesn't really matter how poorly written it is when they are basically 100% against AI.
You're misreading the rule.
>> 5. Using general AI for review is forbidden.
The second sentence makes it even clearer, as it would have been unnecessary under a blanket ban scenario
>> ... If the change contains changes to the UX it has to be approved by a human reviewer.
> Forgejo does not accept works of authorship (code, documentation, etc.) either partially or completely generated by AI due to legal uncertainties.Would that not imply that a change that does not effect the UX does not have to be approved by a human reviewer? Otherwise, why specifically call out "changes to the UX" and not say "all changes"?
You are implying that just by allowing LLM contributions your product is free of bugs, and the LLM won't introduce new bugs. Of course, if the LLM introduces bugs, the solution is to add another layer of LLM looking for bugs, ad infinitum.
Another post from today from Shopify, praising LLM to code their frontend, also stated that their LLM generated code is not ready to deploy, and needs to be reviewed:
> It’s tempting to just point an LLM to the React Native codebase and try to one-shot the same features in native, but it doesn’t work. Even if you ask it to gather as much information as it can up front, freeze that into specs, task files, and then implement it, you end up with a huge amount of unmaintainable code that can’t be shipped. [...] each [build] must prove its behavior with tests, match the running app in a visual review, survive two adversarial code reviewers, and get a human's nod before it's committed and the next one starts.
That... is not the implication of the comment you're replying to.
You don't need to make it all fundamentalist.
you didn't read the comment, did you?
Go back and read the threads. On this forum, or on mastodon, or on the vote. It was pretty vociferously ... shall we say ... "principled"
It was never stated to be about "low quality" but about use in "large part" or "majority", and when pressed people refused to define what that meant, and in fact got angry and defensive and said things like "you'll know if you've crossed the line" and "stop trying to force consent" and similar pearls of wisdom.
The post-facto rationalization did in fact leave them room to judge "quality" on a purely subjective basis. I didn't stick around to find out how that would shake out.
>6. It is not allowed to use AI in an autonomous-looking way to contribute in Forgejo. This also applies when someone engages in 'vibe coding' or uses so-called 'agent mode'.
