## In their own words

- Code contributions: "Twisted does not allow the inclusion of the outputs of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, or other similar products." (https://docs.twisted.org/en/latest/development/ai-policy.html)
- Issues & bug reports: "we specifically do not forbid contributions that are derived from information obtained from LLM outputs, as long as you have fully reviewed those outputs on your own, and written your own description of the issue and proof-of-concept by hand." (https://docs.twisted.org/en/latest/development/ai-policy.html)
- AI-written text: "do not use such systems to generate text to include in any discussion forum (including, but not limited to: issue & pull request descriptions & comments, email lists, and real-time discussions such as our IRC channel)." (https://docs.twisted.org/en/latest/development/ai-policy.html)
