someone asked me whether they could contribute code to touchHLE that’s written using ChatGPT

well, the copyright issue means that’s a hard no.

but if it weren’t for that: I mean, if you can stand behind every line of code as if you’d written it yourself, I don’t really care if you, your headmate, your cat, or the gods themselves through divine revelation wrote your code.

…but I doubt that you really can stand behind the code like that if you didn’t write it yourself. at least not without expending nearly as much effort as it would have taken to write it.

mind you this is just the social issue of “will i let you”. there is also the technical problem that i don’t think chatgpt will have learned how to write Objective-Rust (touchHLE edition)

@hikari for a moment there I assumed "Objective-Rust" might have been a euphemism for Swift

@hikari right, Swift reads more like objective-SML to me.
