Do not submit any code or prose written or modified by large language models or

These tools produce code that looks plausible, which means that not only is it
52+

53+
review. In addition, because these models were trained indiscriminately and
54+
non-consensually on open-source code with a variety of licenses, it's not

obvious that we have the moral or legal right to redistribute code they

generate.
