{{intro|
Do not post AI-generated content in communications or source code contributions without clearly marking it as AI-generated.
}}
= Communications =
* Communications definition: Forum posts, bug reports, feature requests, e-mails, wiki edits, or other forms of communication.
* Marking as AI-generated required: Please DO NOT paste AI-generated content into communications without clearly and unambiguously marking it as AI-generated.
= Source Code =
* Marking as AI-generated required: Please DO NOT submit source code changes or pull requests without clearly and unambiguously marking them as AI-generated.
* Human review: All contributions are carefully reviewed by humans to evaluate whether they meet the project's standards.
= Author Responsibility =
* Author responsibility: Regardless of how your content was created, you will be considered the fully accountable author of that content, and you are responsible for reviewing and fixing such output before submitting it.
= Consequence of Non-Disclosure =
* Non-disclosure may lead to deprioritization: If you do not disclose use of generative AI, and the reviewer has reason to believe that it has been used, your contribution is likely to be deprioritized and may be denied without further review, at the discretion of the reviewer.
* Repeated non-disclosure may lead to a ban: If you intentionally and repeatedly fail to disclose your use of generative AI in a way that is disruptive to the project or its reviewers, you may be banned from further contributions or, in severe cases, from participating in the project altogether.
= Rationale =
{{quotation
|quote=Generative AI allows potential contributors to generate large amounts of content quickly and at near-zero cost. If these contributions are of high quality, they will be welcome. Unfortunately, however, they are often of low quality, in which case it is easy for even a single GenAI-assisted contributor to overwhelm the entire project’s human review capacity.
