AI contribution guidelines

[zbcoding]

Making a discussion here so that new contributors can add their comments on PintaProject's AI contribution guidelines
Previous comments at #2086

PintaProject maintainer Cameron White's current proposal is here: #2086 (comment) (July 10, 2026)

Proposed policy:
Code must be authored by a human contributor, and must be compatible with the MIT license and not violate copyright.
This implies: no autonomous AI agent use, and no use of AI to generate substantial pieces of code
No AI-generated text in human-to-human communication
When our maintainers volunteer their time to review your issue, PR, or proposal, they do not want to talk to a machine. This is a basic principle of respect.
Machine translations are acceptable as long as the original content was written by a human
