AI brief

The r/opensource subreddit introduced new submission rules banning projects that use AI, are made by AI, or are intended for AI, while also effectively barring non-English speakers by stating they cannot verify AI-translated content. Moderators clarified nuance regarding selective enforcement but the rules require projects to be at least one year old, actively maintained, and have multiple contributors, which bars solo developers. The post also sparked the creation of a rival subreddit, r/trueopensource.
