PlayStation3 Emulator Devs Politely Ask Contributors to Stop Submitting 'AI Slop' Pull Requests

Source: Slashdot

Overview

Open‑source PS3 emulator RPCS3 has been around since 2011, Kotaku notes, and has made 70 % of the PlayStation 3’s library fully playable, “bolstered in part by the many users who contribute to its GitHub page.”

The dev team recently took to X to politely request that users stop submitting AI slop code pull requests to its GitHub page.

In the replies, the team was less civil but more entertaining, telling the AI‑brain‑rotted tech bros attempting to justify their vibe‑coding nonsense to “kick rocks.”

Notable exchange

User: How are you sure you’re not rejecting human‑written code?
RPCS3: “You can’t possibly handwrite the type of shit AI slop we have been seeing.”
