Godot will ban AI-authored code and AI-submitted pull requests

The Godot Foundation announced it will update contributor guidelines to forbid AI-authored code, AI agents submitting pull requests, and AI-generated text in human-to-human communication. The change follows months of maintainers flagging low-quality "AI slop" PRs that have increased review workload and reduced mentorship opportunities. Policy updates aim to require human accountability, add barriers to low-effort contributions, and encourage reviewer-led mentorship to grow future maintainers.

• Ban on AI-authored code and AI-submitted PRs
• Response to rising volume of low-quality "AI slop" contributions
• New rules to require human accountability and fix responsibility
• Focus on adding barriers to low-effort PRs and promoting mentorship
