like it, maybe add the git command?

• request conventional commit messages at least for the first commit in a PR
• request breakage/disruption attention (!) and description of the breakage/disruption for later inclusion in the release notes

I would prefer a more template like structure maybe even with sections - but I am not much into this so far ...

I would prefer a checklist:

• all commits compile
• all commits use conventional commit messages
• (re)based onto main
• includes breaking changes
• includes LLM/Generative AI code
• I vouch for the code

[RobertMueller2]

I would prefer a checklist:

* [ ]  all commits use [conventional commit messages](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/)

I'll scrap that, if we squash anyway it's not needed.

* [ ]  (re)based onto [main](https://github.com/Satty-org/Satty/tree/main)

This may need recurrence depending on how long a PR takes, I might rephrase that :)

Hello! :)

I just found out about Satty and it looks really cool!

For many reasons, I am against LLMs (and GenAI as a whole), including ethical, environmental and practical ones. Would the project consider implementing a ban on GenAI?

If this is done, the project could also be featured on lists like https://noai.starlightnet.work .

Hey @lumi-me-not ,

it is true that we do not have a lot of AI contributions so far. We want that the authors at least understand AI generated contributions, change them according to the comments and adjust them, so that maintainability can be secured.

We understand code as a mean to achieve certain goals, but also as a form of expression - maybe even "art". That being said, we need to accept the world we live in and the strengths that GenAI gives us. Therefore, we think that prohibiting GenAI is neither achievable nor sensible. We will not implement a ban on GenAI.

Wish you luck with your quest against GenAI, we feel with you - but we cannot support you.

Best,
gabm

Thanks for the swift response! :)

Personally, I believe that the possible upsides are massively outweighed by all of the downsides, especially systemically. I also believe a ban is achievable, see https://cyrneko.eu/ai-policy.html

That being said, I understand your views and will respect them, I'll just ask to see my input as a datapoint against GenAI. :)

Wish the project & all of you the best. ❤️
