Comment on NetBSD bans all commits of AI-generated code

This is a rule to protect themselves. If there is ever a case around this, they can push the blame to the person that committed the code for breaking that rule.

This is the only reason rules exist, not to stop people doing a thing but to be able to enforce or defect responsibility when they do.

I mean, generally rules at least are to strongly discourage people from doing a thing, or to lead to things that WOULD prevent people from doing a thing.
A purely conceptual rule by itself would not magically stop someone from doing a thing, but that’s kind of a weird way to think about it.
