What's interesting is the change in the policy. Old policy:

> If you use an LLM (Large Language Model, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, or Llama) to make a contribution then you must say so in your contribution and you must carefully review your contribution for correctness before sharing it. If you share un-reviewed LLM-generated content then you will be immediately banned.

...and the new one:

> If you use an LLM (Large Language Model, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, or Llama) to make any kind of contribution then you will immediately be banned without recourse.

Looking at twpayne's discussion about the LLM policy[1], it seems like he got fed up with people not following those instructions:

> I stumbled across an LLM-generated podcast about chezmoi today. It was bland, impersonal, dull, and un-insightful, just like every LLM-generated contribution so far.

> I will update chezmoi's contribution guide for LLM-generated content to say simply "no LLM-generated content is allowed and if you submit anything that looks even slightly LLM-generated then you will be immediately be banned."

Even more yikes. They found a third-party LLM-generated podcast and made the policy even harsher because of it? What happens when they continue to run into more LLM-generated content out in the wild?

Interestingly, this is exactly the sort of behavior people have been losing their minds about lately with regards to Codes of Conduct.

I think it's that the low quality of the LLM-generated podcast caused him to reflect on the last year's worth of (apparently, largely low-quality) LLM-generated pull requests opened on the project; not that the podcast itself was the direct cause of the change in policy.
