/r/badcode and AI generated code

Hello everyone,

Currently, /r/badcode allows code generated using tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT, as there is no rule specifying that only human-generated code is allowed. When the subreddit was founded, such tools were still in the realm of science fiction.

Should we ban AI generated code in /r/badcode?
