Incredibly dumb and nonenforceable policy. What matters is human review and correctness.

You're never going to be able to prove that a contributor didn't ask an LLM to help them make some changes, or review/optimize changes that were made.

Capable people who like to get stuff done will use LLMs, review their work carefully, and never disclose it. And you'll never be able to tell.

People who generated slop PRs won't even read your policy before submitting a slop PR.

if a commit is so good that i can't tell, well, ok. if the committer hides that they used AI, same.

the policy allows me to reject the things i know are done with AI and it allows me to punish (ban) devs who lie to me when i find out. without a policy i have no argument.
