[PATCH] gitk: discourage AI contributions

Johannes Sixt <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.git
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Since the provenance of code generated by AI cannot be tracked with
confidence, which would be necessary to sign off a contribution, tell
contributors not to use AI.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <[email protected]>

 Following a recent brief discussion[1] it looks like I should not
 accept code for Gitk that was generated by AI even if the submitter
 understands all of it. Should I discourage AI contributions outright
 like this or would it overshoot the mark?
