Hi,

I'm not aware of any discussions, but would add that I've been finding that
patches for MediaWiki entirely or mostly written by AI (as opposed to AI
used to assist) require a lot more code review and often really miss the
mark to solve the problem on the first pass. At least one didn't even solve
the problem described in the ticket (and wouldn't have even if they had
addressed other comments)

I think if we adopt a similar policy or guideline, then it would need to be
careful to avoid discouraging new developers learning by doing (i.e. using
AI to help them learn)

Would be interested to see what input others have on this
