AI is entirely banned > in this project. The guidelines are clear and concise. It might be good to provide a sentence or two of reasoning, to avoid repeated questions on the list. My main concern with accepting AI contributions is the current lack of legislation and case law in the United States with respect to the copyright-ability of the output. I also don't trust AI answers much, but that theoretically could change in the future as technology improves (or less people blindly trust the output).
