47+ ## Large Language Models
48+
49+ Do not submit any code or prose written or modified by large language models or
50+ "artificial intelligence" such as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT to this project.
51+ These tools produce code that looks plausible, which means that not only is it
52+ likely to contain bugs those bugs are likely to be difficult to notice on
53+ review. In addition, because these models were trained indiscriminately and
54+ non-consensually on open-source code with a variety of licenses, it's not
55+ obvious that we have the moral or legal right to redistribute code they
56+ generate.
