Another *important* rule concerns artificial intelligence. I've noticed
some beginners submitting LTP patches directly generated by AI tools.
This puts a significant burden on patch review, as AI can sometimes
introduce a weird/unreliable perspective into the code.

Be careful when using AI tools
========================
AI tools can be useful for executing, summarizing, or suggesting approaches,
but they can also be confidently wrong and give an illusion of correctness.
Treat AI output as untrusted: verify claims against the code, documentation,
and actual behavior on a reproducer.

Do not send AI-generated changes as raw patches. AI-generated diffs often
contain
irrelevant churn, incorrect assumptions, inconsistent style, or subtle
bugs, which
creates additional burden for maintainers to review and fix.

Best practice is to write your own patches and have them reviewed by AI
before
submitting them, which helps add beneficial improvements to your work.
