-Generative AI is a burden to maintainers due to the advent of low-quality pull requests that this technology enables, as well as the copyright issues it poses. To protect our contributors and community members, unless otherwise specified by the maintainer, pull-requests that are suspected to be generated by AI will be closed, and their authors may be barred from further contribution. What is and isn't AI generated is notoriously difficult to strictly define, so moderators will approach these situations on a case-by-case basis.
