Fully agree with you on all points.

But again: how do we distinguish between manual code input and sophisticated autocomplete?

The project is simply saying what they want. If you choose to ignore that for some weird reason congratulations for being a jerk, I guess.
Can you confirm that continuing to use autocomplete in a code base against the policy of the project does make the person a jerk?
Yes, actually. Knowingly violating the policies of a project while pretending you aren't, so you can continue participating in the fully voluntary project, does make you a jerk.

If you don't like the policies they set, just leave.

I'm willing to bet that every single person on here complaining has zero contributions to PostmarketOS.

If it's crap then it's ai. If it's okay, then we pretend that is just sophisticated auto complete.
It's pretty much obvious but the policy specifically argues against it and stands on moral grounds.
I don't think anybody seriously cares about such "policies".
Unfortunately exactly this kind of policies are the ones people care the most about.

It's moral values, virtue signaling and rage. Extremely engaging.
