I am not going to name names or point to specific PRs so as not to shame anybody since that isn’t my intention, but we have had a couple AI-assisted PRs in the past and rimu has generally not been very receptive to them. I even really liked the functionality that one of them provided. However, they have generally been huge in that it is a ton of very verbose code that is difficult to review. I don’t believe that he has an official policy on AI-assisted contributions other than that it is easy enough to review and confirm that it is working as intended as well as not completely changing up coding style and conventions we have used elsewhere.

As a bit of disclosure, I have occasionally used very basic AI queries to help me understand something in a python library I haven’t used before or couldn’t find docs about. A specific case I remember was that I didn’t understand how to do something in the orjson library and I couldn’t find a good example in their docs or on stack overflow. Out of desperation I asked ChatGPT and it gave me a minimum viable example that I was able to adapt to what I needed. I have done similar a couple times when trying to craft regular expressions as well as dealing with some edge cases in the marshmallow python library that I couldn’t find answers for in their docs. I do make sure to test any code I write to make sure that I wasn’t just fed a hallucination or something that applied for an older version of the library but is out of date now.
