That’s not what it says. It’s pretty clear…

> Any contribution of any LLM-generated content will be rejected and result in an immediate ban for the contributor, without recourse.

You can argue it’s unenforceable, unproductive, or a bad idea. But it says nothing about unreviewed code. Any LLM generated code.

I’m not sure how great of an idea it is, but then again, it’s not my project.

Personally, I’d rather read a story about how this came to be. Either the owner of the project really hates LLMs or someone submitted something stupid. Either would be a good read.

The linked thread includes the story
Said policy:

    * Any contribution of any LLM-generated content will be rejected and result in
      an immediate ban for the contributor, without recourse.
It's you who isn't reading the policy. What you are reading instead is deleted sections in a Git commit which are not part of the policy.
Did you read the policy? "If you use an LLM to make any kind of contribution..."
