 Generative AI can be a useful tool for contributors, but like any tool should be used with critical thinking and good judgement.
 
-We encourage contributors to use AI tools efficiently where they help. However, AI assistance must be paired with meaningful human intervention, judgement, and contextual understanding. **If the human effort required to create a pull request is less than the effort required for maintainers to review it, that contribution should not be submitted.**
+AI assistance must be paired with meaningful human intervention, judgement, and contextual understanding. **If the human effort required to create a pull request is less than the effort required for maintainers to review it, that contribution should not be submitted.**

+We struggle when contributors' entire work (code changes, documentation updates, pull request descriptions) are LLM-generated. These drive-by contributions often mean well but miss the mark in terms of contextual relevance, accuracy, and quality. Mass automated contributions represent a denial-of-service attack on our human effort.

+* The Pull Request must fill in the repository's pull request template.
+* The Pull Request must identify itself as AI generated, including the name of the agent used.
+* The Pull Request must link to a issue or discussion where a solution has been approved by a maintainer.
