alt Hacker NewsThat sounds reasonable. I would even go one step further and drop requirements to disclose AI use. I think the person submitting the work should be fully responsible for what they submit and is more than enough. If you have a karma system for contributors, you get a pretty good idea of who does a good job.p

100% of AI use should have to be disclosed in all cases, not just software. A person using an AI is foregoing responsibility from the get go by using an AI to do things that they can't personally do. What would it even mean for them to be responsible if they submit a patch to a project written by an AI as their own work? Such a person submitting a patch they don't understand that is rejected is in exactly the same place as if they had never submitted a patch. They have nothing to lose.
I hear you, but I don't think is a good idea to say that someone who used AI for a patch, did not understand the changes. We can't conflate the two.
If you spent 20 seconds to generate a patch and just hurled over the fence to be reviewed is no worse than spending 3 hours to manually write a fix that fixes 1 thing and break 2 others.
