We need it to sound grumpy and it needs to be the first paragraph. AI Slop: AI can generate a ton of patches automatically which creates a burden on the upstream maintainers. The maintainers need to review every line of every patch and they expect the submitters to demonstrate that even the generated code was verified to be accurate. If you are unsure of whether a patch is appropriate then do not send it. NO AI SLOP! Of course, sensible people don't need to be told this stuff, but there are well intentioned people who need it explained. regards, dan carpenter
