Re: GCC AI Policy Announcement

Andrea Pinski supports the newly announced GCC AI policy and proposes an amendment inspired by LLVM’s policy. He suggests prohibiting the use of AI tools to fix ‘good first issues,’ arguing that it removes valuable learning opportunities for new contributors. Pinski highlights LLVM’s similar policy and its handling of ‘extractive contributions.’
