The question I have is what is an AI assisted contribution? For example, I still write code by hand, but I make many prototypes using AI before committing to a specific implementation. My code is clearly AI "assisted", but all of my final code is written by hand (no autocomplete either).

From February to 09-24 the policy was "human in the loop". Any tool was fine as long as the contributor read the code and could answer questions about it.

Banning does not imply verification. The policy is just a warning. So now you know, if they suspect that a PR is AI-generated, then there may be further consequences. I don’t think someone is going to apply a stamp on each PR.

The most egregious examples are always lazy (big diff, lengthy descriptions, weird phrasing,…). Now there’s a section in the policy to point to for the quick rejection.

No, you retain full authorship of your code regardless of how it's generated.

> My code is clearly AI "assisted"

No such thing, it's 100% your code, regardless of how it came to be.
