I’m not a big AI fan but I do see it as just another tool in your toolbox. I wouldn’t really care how someone got to the end result that is a PR.

But I also think that if a maintainer asks you to jump before submitting a PR, you politely ask, “how high?”

When one side has much more "scalability" than the other, then the other side has very strong motivation to match up.

- People use AI to write cover letters. If the companies don't filter out them automatically, they're screwed.

- Companies use AI to interview candidates. No one wants to spend their personal time talking to a robot. So the candidates start using AI to take interviews for them.

etc.

If you don't at least tell yourself that you don't allow AI PRs (even just as a white lie) you'll one day use AI to review PRs.

Both sides will use AI and it will ultimately increase economic productivity.

Imagine living before the invention of the printing press, and then lamenting that we should ban them because it makes it "too easy" to distribute information and will enable "low quality" publications to have more reach. Actually, this exact thing happened, but the end result was it massively disrupted the world and economy in extremely positive ways.

Imagine being so deluded and disconnected that you actually believe that AI has any similarity with the printing press regarding the benefits to The People.
