The only code contributions that we have approved that used AI assistance so far have been minor fixes and improvements where the risk of regression and copyright violation is low. The requirement to certify contributions under the Developer Certificate of Origin also makes the person submitting the changes liable if they are submitting copyrighted code.

Any of the more complex changes and feature developments that people have attempted have been denied and will continue be denied. If you look through all of the changes that we do merge, the vast majority of large feature developments and fixes are done by hand by trusted contributors (ie: Hojjat) and official team members who are consistently and frequently contributing large changes to COSMIC that did not involve any LLM use.

It is more the exception when a contribution that used AI assistance was used that is able to be approved and we will likely make some policy adjustments due to the amount of burden that they're currently causing in the review process. Truthfully the only situations where AI has been useful over the last year is when the person used it for debugging purposes rather than code generation.
