Developers of the open-source PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 ask contributors to stop submitting AI-generated “slop” through the project’s GitHub pull requests. The emulator, which has been under development since 2011, has made substantial progress toward playable titles, with sources noting that around 70% of the PS3 library is fully playable. The maintainers credit community contributions on GitHub as a key part of that advancement.
In posts shared on X, the RPCS3 team makes a direct appeal to contributors, saying that people should not flood the project with code they do not understand or cannot support, including code produced by AI tools. The team’s message emphasizes that contributions should come with debugging and coding competence rather than auto-generated changes. Kotaku reports the maintainers advising that contributors learn to debug and code, instead of generating output that they cannot explain or verify.
Slashdot adds that the request is delivered politely on the social media post, while subsequent replies include sharper language from some participants in the discussion. No specific AI tool or individual contributor is identified in the reports.
