I agree. But for the sake of discussion: What about cases where someone, say, doesn't have an excellent grasp of English and decides to use, for example, ChatGPT to aid in writing documentation/comments (not code) and puts a note somewhere explicitly mentioning what was AI-generated so that someone else can take a closer look? I'd personally not be the biggest fan of this if it wasn't in something like a PR or ml post where it could be reviewed before being made final. But the most impportant part IMO would be being up-front about it. > > Rationale: > > 1. Copyright concerns. At this point, the copyright situation around > generated content is still unclear.

Not to mention the examples from early on where Copilot was filling in incorrect attribution. - Oskari
