Summary
Godot’s open-source engine is slamming the brakes on AI-generated code submissions, citing a tsunami of automated pull requests that’s overwhelmed its volunteer reviewers. With AI making coding too easy, the project’s senior engineers are stuck in a cycle of reviewing code that offers no real learning or accountability. To fix this, Godot’s enforcing strict new rules: new contributors must focus on bug fixes and docs before proposing features, AI tools are banned unless used for basic autocomplete (and must be disclosed), and AI-generated text in discussions is forbidden — except for machine translation. The goal? Protect human mentorship, ensure real understanding, and keep the project’s human-driven soul intact.
