“Our reason for the strict AI policy is not due to an anti-AI stance, but instead due to the number of highly unqualified people using AI.”

Ghostty published an AI policy for contributors. Full disclosure of any AI usage required. AI-generated PRs limited to pre-accepted issues only. Human testing mandated before submission. Violators face public banning. The policy shifts validation burden from maintainers back to contributors. That’s the right move. AI makes it trivially easy to generate plausible-looking code that doesn’t actually work.
