Restrictions on Generative AI Usage
===================================

We expect authentic engagement in our community. Be wary of posting output
from Large Language Models or similar generative AI as comments on GitHub or
our discourse server, as such comments tend to be formulaic and low content.
If you use generative AI tools as an aid in developing code or documentation
changes, ensure that you fully understand the proposed changes and can explain
why they are the correct approach and an improvement to the current state.

- Do not post output from Large Language Models or similar generative AI as
comments on GitHub or our discourse server, as such comments tend to be
formulaic and low content.
- If you use generative AI tools as an aid in developing code or documentation
changes, ensure that you fully understand the proposed changes and can
explain why they are the correct approach.

Make sure you have added value based on your personal competency to your
contributions. Just taking some input, feeding it to an AI and posting the
result is not of value to the project. To preserve precious core developer
capacity, we reserve the right to rigorously reject seemingly AI generated
low-value contributions.
