On May 9, 2026, the RPCS3 development team, responsible for the PlayStation 3 emulator, posted a message on X, urging users to refrain from submitting AI-generated code to their GitHub repository. They warned that failure to disclose the use of AI in contributions could lead to bans. Instead of relying on non-functional AI-generated code, the team encouraged aspiring coders to utilize existing online resources for learning. The RPCS3 emulator, launched in 2011, boasts a 70% playability rate for the PS3 library, with similar concerns about AI-generated contributions recently expressed by Rémi Verschelde from the Godot Engine.
