## In their own words

- Code contributions: "Disclose which AI tools were used and what they were used for (e.g., generating code, drafting commit messages, writing documentation)." (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/submitting-patches/)
- Code contributions: "Review and verify all AI-generated output." (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/submitting-patches/)
- Code contributions: "Submissions that show no evidence of manual verification may be closed without review, and repeated low-quality contributions may lead to restricted participation in Django’s development process." (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/submitting-patches/)
- AI-written text: "While AI tools can assist with drafting or exploratory analysis, they must not replace human understanding and careful review." (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/submitting-patches/)
