I just submitted my first big open source contribution to the OpenAI agents SDK for JS. Every word except the issue I opened was done by AI.

On the flip side, I’m preparing to open source a project I made for a serializable state machine with runtime hooks. But that’s blood sweat and tears labor. AI is writing a lot of the unit tests and the code, but it’s entirely by my architectural design.

There’s a continuum here. It’s not binary. How can we communicate what role AI played?

And does it really matter anymore?

if you read his note i think he gives good insight as to why he wants PRs to signal AI involvement.

that being said i feel like this is an intermediate step - it's really hard to review PRs that are AI slop because it's so easy for those who don't know how to use AI to create a multi-hundred/thousand line diff. but when AI is used well, it really saves time and often creates high quality work
