I feel this is way too verbose. It almost looks like a version history
of the work submitted in the patch. I'm not interested in this at all,
I'm only interested in the final result and which parts I have to assume
to contain AI generated content.

If I understand correctly what really happened there, it could be:
AI-used-for: tests (based on bug #1234)
With the wordy, but unspecific tags above, I'm not completely sure if
"code" ought to be included, too. It gives a lot of irrelevant
information that I have to filter out when reading, but it missed the
important part.
