We could say something like this:

  Please do not sign off your work if you’re using an LLM to contribute
  unless you have included copyright and license information for all the
  code used in that LLM.

Would this mean that you wanted to ban contributions like d12166d3c8bb
(Merge branch 'en/docfixes', 2023-10-23), available on the list over
at https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1595.git.1696747527.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/ (local)
?   We don't need to go theoretical, I've already contributed such a
patch series before -- 2 years ago -- and it was merged.  Granted,
that was entirely documentation, and I called out the usage of AI in
the cover letter, and I manually checked every change (discarding many
of them) and split it into commits on my own, could easily explain any
change and why it was good, etc.  And I was upfront about all of it.

This is a good example why we don't want to ban any use of generated AI. Thanks.

If any use of AI is bad, do we need to revert that series?
