@wouter@pleroma.debian.social The Linux kernel policy seems require it for "science reasons": ... proper attribution helps track the evolving role of AI in the development process.
That seems not very useful like this though. For that purpose you probably want to also document *how* it was used exactly.
Also I don't think it would be a valid reason to require it because the quality might not be great. If that was the reason then the only consequence of that should be to simply say that it's forbidden / discouraged to use.

@slomo Yeah, you'd think so. But I don't know if the kernel community would care much about 'science reasons', and also I thought the process document about assistant tools was talking a lot about maintainers time, but now that I review it I seem to have misremembered. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst Quite confused now 🤷
