I’m not a big AI fan but I do see it as just another tool in your toolbox. I wouldn’t really care how someone got to the end result that is a PR.

But I also think that if a maintainer asks you to jump before submitting a PR, you politely ask, “how high?”

I can generate 1,000 PRs today against an open source project using AI. I think you do care, you are only thinking about the happy path where someone uses a little AI to draft a well constructed PR.

There's a lot ways AI can be used to quickly overwhelm a project maintainer.

In that case a more correct rule (and probably one that can be automatically enforced) for that issue is a max number of PRs or opened issues per account.

I think this is sane, although possibly not sufficient. Asking people to self-disclose AI usage is not going shield maintainers from a flood of undisclosed AI submissions.
