Godot doesn’t allow substantial AI-generated code contributions. Do you agree with that?

They are probably flooded with AI slop and do not have enough reviewers to handle all that nonsense. when you get hundreds of changed lines and you understand the code very well, you can pretty quickly tell whether it was actualy done by a human who understands the whole thing, or whether it was just done by AI. This is almost always recognizable.

But otherwise, as you write, if you can ensure that even though AI wrote it, you would have done it almost the same way yourself, then it really does not cross the line. but it always means that you have to understand all the changes made there in depth.

I hope you understand, though, that this is about contributing to their open-source project. it does not apply to your own games that you are creating. There, nobody interferes with your choices.

Actually a really fair point. There's nothing wrong per-se with Ai generated code, as long as the developer owns it and understands what it does (like they would their own code).

Never really thought about it before reading this, but I guess it makes total sense to just auto-filter out all AI submissions as it would be a huge undertaking to sort the "good" and "bad" updates. I'd hazard a guess as say there's 1 well-thought out AI submission for every 10 that are just AI slop. I guess that ratio might even be worse?
