# Godot Engine: Not AI-friendly

> The Godot Foundation announced that all code must be human-authored: AI may help only with menial things like code completion, regex or find and replace, and any AI use must be disclosed. Autonomous agents and vibe coding lead to a ban, and AI-generated text is not allowed in issues, PRs or proposals, though machine translation of human writing is fine.

- Homepage: https://godotengine.org/
