| 21 | +Rules: |
3 | 22 | 1. It is acceptable to use AI when producing contributions. |
4 | | -2. Any and all AI usage must be fully and explictly disclosed |
5 | | - in the PR description and commit message. |
6 | | -3. The modern (as of 2026-06) AI is a misnomer, |
7 | | - it is not intelligent, |
8 | | - it is not sentient, |
9 | | - it does not think, |
10 | | - it does not understand the code, |
11 | | - it is merely a next-token guesser, |
12 | | - therefore it is merely an (hyper-) advanced IDE. |
13 | | -4. Therefore, the actual person contributing |
14 | | - solely bears the whole responsibility for the diff, |
| 23 | +> [!WARNING] |
| 24 | +> Any and all AI usage **MUST** be fully and explicitly disclosed |
| 25 | +> in **every** contribution. |
| 26 | +2. All contributions shall be done by conscious, sentient beings. |
| 27 | + Fully autonomous contributions by bots are prohibited[^1]. |
| 28 | +> [!WARNING] |
| 29 | +> Dear contributor, the AI is *your* *tool*, and its output is for *your* |
| 30 | +> *consumption*. It is **your** responsibility to consume said output, |
| 31 | +> interpret it, and then produce the contribution itself. |
| 32 | +> **DO NOT** just query it and post the output, |
| 33 | +> *especially* so for all non-code contributions! |
| 34 | +3. The contributor (conscious, sentient being) solely bears |
| 35 | + the whole responsibility for the contribution, |
15 | 36 | they must understand the problem, and the solution, |
16 | 37 | and be able to constructively argue about it. |
17 | 38 | "well, AI said so, therefore it is" is not an acceptable approach. |
18 | | -5. All contributions shall be done by sentient beings, |
19 | | - fully autonomous contributions by bots are not allowed. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +[^1]: Unless explicitly allowed by maintainers on case-by-case basis |
| 41 | + *before* the contribution is submitted, |
| 42 | + in which case the bot owner (conscious, sentient being) |
| 43 | + is recognized as the de facto contributor. |
