alt Hacker NewsSounds like you violated the clearly stated project rules and admitted to it. Are you surprised that they're not engaging with you?

It's a violation of project rules to confirm bugs with AI?
Pointing out something that is not good doesn't require surprise at the fact that it happened
Yeah, the maintainers of a DOA hobby project should certainly be allowed to run it however they want imo
Wow I thought surely they wouldn't object to using AI to confirm bugs, but they really do.
Tbf I guess as a popular open source project not using AI to fix bugs, they probably already have more open bugs than they can ever fix so it doesn't really help them for people to find more.
I would imagine his bug was actually ignored just because Zig has 2700 open bugs, rather than some AI policy violation.
Reading their comment it sounds like they wanted to confirm the bug existed with AI, not sure they ever said they had AI write the code. Why have such a dumb policy?
