The RPCS3 team, creators of the top free emulator for playing PlayStation 3 games, has asked people to stop submitting AI-generated slop code changes. They said: “Please stop submitting AI slop code pull requests to RPCS3. We will start banning those who do without disclosing. There are plenty of resources online to learn how to debug and code instead of generating slop that you don’t understand and that doesn’t work.” The team is not against AI tools, but many AI code changes are just AI slop, not even tested, and sent by people who do not understand the code. This wastes the team’s time on this very hard project that needs deep knowledge of PlayStation 3 hardware. Many other free software projects have the same problem.
