This part is already solved and not under discussion currently. LLM generated contributions to Haiku are not allowed.
The ongoing discussions (public one in the forum, but there is also one on haikuports mailing list, and a private one for moderators about the forum moderation rules) are about wether we should try to go further than that, such as:
- Banning “vibe coded” applications from the forum, or moving them to a dedicated category so people can ignore them
- Banning them from being packaged in haikuports
- Banning LLM generated posts from the forum (the rule is already in place, but there has been some discussion among the moderation team to clarify its intent)
- Defining exactly what we want to ban in terms of LLM generated or assisted code. Is it just entirely vibe coded apps? Is it any and all use of LLMs including for research and code exploration (which seems impossible to do?) Somewhere in between? What about people who use some type of “smart” autocomplete that’s based on an LLM? Is that different from vibe coding? (from the software quality point of view, I think it is, but from the resources usage, independance from closed source tech, and political associations, I think it’s not).
And also, for which reasons we should or should not ban things. But maybe that’s less important in the end, and only a way to guide the decisions. And I think everything there was to say about this, has already been said.
