any content submitted that is clearly labelled as LLM-generated (including issues, merge requests, and merge request descriptions) will be immediately closed
It will be unlabeled and reduced in quantity, as LLM users will feel unwelcome and there is not much point in contributing to a project that doesn't want you. You don't always need your policy to be perfect, you just need it to make things better than before
Plus, speaking as an OSS maintainer for some rather large libraries... Its obvious. You can also just close MRs and if the user comments and engages in meaningful discussion you reopen. Cost of a wrong decision is low.
It's almost necessary at this point. At least some form of AI scraper prevention.
I had to take my public repos down a couple days ago, individuals and belligerents using botnets make blocking scrapers via normal means (user-agent/CIDR block) ineffective. So things like CloudFlare or Anubis are becoming necessary.

Guess it won't be labelled, then.

Ironic that they have their repos hiding behind Cloudflare, then.
