Godot LLM contributions
Godot will accept LLM-generated contributions, but only if they are: 1
- Disclosed
- Fully understood by the author
- Guarded against license contamination
The only LLM-generated contribution which has
been accepted and never reverted is #112471,
and is contained in the 4.6-stable,
4.6.1-stable, and
4.6.2-stable tags. It was not disclosed
and the maintainers missed that it was
LLM-generated. A maintainer stated that in hindsight
it should have been flagged and rejected. Claude was
subsequenly banned from contributing, but the commit
has not been reverted. 1
In my assessment, #112471 is very minor and I think it is unlikely to cause licensing or maintainability problems. 1
