The Zig project's rationale for their firm anti-AI contribution policy

Zig enforces one of open source's strictest anti-LLM policies, banning AI-generated contributions in issues, PRs, and comments. The project's VP of Community explains the philosophy: helping contributors improve their work requires human-authored submissions and personal investment. This has concrete impact — Bun, a Zig-based runtime acquired by Anthropic, maintains a separate fork specifically to enable AI-assisted development and won't upstream performance gains to Zig.
