About LLMs at Zig Days: Zig Project Maintains Strict No-AI Contribution Policy — AI PRs 'Invariably Garbage'

Kristoff.it / Hacker News·medium signal

Zig creator Andrew Kelley reiterated the project's strict no-AI contribution policy at Zig Days, calling AI-generated PRs 'invariably garbage' that waste review time. The policy creates a notable tension: Bun (the most prominent Zig project, acquired by Anthropic) uses AI heavily but operates its own fork because Zig bans LLM-authored contributions. Kelley frames Zig as a '50-year language' where mentoring humans trumps AI efficiency. 82 points, 68 comments on HN.
