Dear all, I opened this PR with a draft of a SymPy AI code contribution policy:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/28941 I suggest that people review and I will improve the text based on the feedback there until we have some consensus. This will not solve all issues associated with the onslaught of AI slop, but can at least get some kind of policy codified that we can use to help fend off the slop.
