@rok I had 2 options which seemed different levels of reasonable:

I got two options that seem reasonable:

A.

Using AI tools to help with phrasing or grammar is fine. However, please don't use AI to generate questions on your behalf - we want to help you, not your AI assistant.

B.

Using AI tools to help with phrasing or grammar is fine and doesn't need to be disclosed. However, if AI is more involved in your workflow (e.g. generating questions or diagnosing errors), please let us know so we can tailor our responses appropriately.

What do you think? Could go with something else entirely.

Option A seems beter for the explicitness. In a "no unattended" agents kinda way

I suppose the thinking is that we cannot hope to communicate to unattended agents simply for our communication bandwidth not being scalable.

Yeah, I think "just a few is fine" sounds reasonable with the current volume, but looking at the recent shenanigans with matplotlib, this feels like it could get out of control very easily. And it's not hard to say "I was working on this PR and the AI tool wanted me to check the following - can you clarify which of those approaches is best?" or something.
