What I meant is that you said we should be wary of content that might
carry legal risks, if I understand correctly. And as far as I remember,
Johannes is the only person recently who has proactively disclosed that
his patches were AI-assisted. I appreciate that disclosure, so I was
simply pointing it out. Of course, I have no doubt about the quality of
his patches.

So what I mean is that we have already had cases where people
voluntarily disclosed their use of AI, but there did not seem to be much
discussion about it at the time. This time, Brian brought the issue up
for discussion, and I really appreciate both of you doing so.

Thanks.
