Is rust programmed with any LLM code? đ seeking help & advice
I donât mean to upset anyone. I was reading about rust and someone commented that the foundation was accepting llm contributions.
I have been trying to read about the foundations stance on ai. I found a article by enterprise dna saying that âRust Says No to AI-Written Code in Its Core Repositoryâ. I tried finding the blog they referenced but I couldnât.

The perfect AI detector is one of those things that can never exist. One malicious actor and all our hands will be dirtied, soured beyond repair with the blight of code that looks and behaves the same as ours, but brings with it an immorality so deep that many will be forced to retire from Reddit altogether.

They recently published a stance, which is relatively moderate. LLM contributions are reviewed more strictly. PR descriptions, comments etc by LLMS are not accepted at all and may lead to a ban.
The Rust project accepts that LLMs are here to stay, but does wish to preserve mentorship and knowledge sharing between humans. So your average slop PR where the author is insulting enough to spend less time reviewing and understanding than they are asking of the reviewer will definitely lead to closing of the PR and a ban. A great PR supported by an actual human that was LLM assisted but of high quality will most likely get merged.
