Hi,
I think OpenWrt does not have a policy regarding AI Coding Assistants. I
started using them and I always mentioned it in the commit message.
I am pretty sure others used them too on code contributed to OpenWrt.
I would like to take over the policy from the Linux kernel regarding AI
Coding Assistants:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html
I would like to use these rules for OpenWrt:
* AI Coding Assistants are tools and can be used
* The contributor takes full responsibility for the code generated
* The contributor must understand what the code does
* It should be mentioned when such tools were used
* The AI should not automatically create PRs, the AI could help a
person doing this.
