Do I also have to disclose using tab completion? My IDE uses machine learning for completion suggestions.

Do I need to disclose that I wrote a script to generate some annoying boilerplate? Or that my IDE automatically templates for loops?

It's a spectrum, isn't it? I wouldn't want to waste my time reviewing a bunch of repetitive code generated from some script or do something like review every generated template instantiation in a C++ code base. I would want to review the script/template definition/etc., but what's the equivalent for AI? Should the review just be the prompt(s)?

Edit: Also, it's always good to provide maximal context to reviewers. For example, when I use code from StackOverflow I link the relevant answer in a comment so the reviewer doesn't have to re-tread the same ground I covered looking for that solution. It also gives reviewers some clues about my understanding of the problem. How is AI different in this regard?

If you're not sure, it's probably safer to just mention it.

No, it explicitly says that you don't need to disclose tab completion.

Yes, you have to disclose it.

You absolutely need to disclose it.

> Or that my IDE automatically templates for loops?

That's probably worth disclosing too.
