Proposed AI policy

There is now a proposed AI policy. For discussion of the details, please direct your comments to the PR itself. This discussion thread is a continuation of an earlier discussion. In a relatively short period of time we seem to have arrived a point where some allowance for AI seems necessary. Better to require people disclose the AI model(s) they have used and sign an updated CLA than pretend people aren't already contributing AI-assisted code.

In case anyone else finds this useful, the Rust folks have been working on something similar, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-forge/pull/1040, and that in turn links to posts on how other projects have handled it.

🙏. CLA hear would mean Contributor , license agreement. I don’t understand this post completely especially in the context

I am seeking clarification to avoid ambiguity to be on the same page with folks here

Have a nice day

Best regards
