AI guidelines for mentoring programs (like GSoC and Outreachy)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

We now have a new "AI guidelines" on
https://git.github.io/General-Application-Information/ following some
discussions between GSoC 2025 potential mentors and org admins by
email and on https://github.com/git/git.github.io/pull/771.

We came up relatively quickly with these guidelines because this year
71 out of 79 proposals we received for the GSoC 2025 were spammy and
very often AI generated. This is a significant increase compared to
previous years. I remember that a few years ago there were less than a
dozen spammy proposals. We also received some AI generated spam
patches and emails to our personal email addresses.

Other organizations participating in the GSoC 2025 also received an
increasing amount of such spam, and organizations which documented
some guidelines against it said they receive less of it. A large
amount of discussion has happened on the GSoC mentors list about this.

Let us know if you have an opinion about this, or if you think that
the whole Git project should have AI guidelines.

Thanks.
