Re: Guidelines for LLM generated contributions

Yes, fully supported. This sounds like basic courtesy, and I like the 
wording of the guidelines you shared.

  • Guidelines for LLM generated contributions
    Dear all,
    
    at least one contributor is planning again to flood the OCA projects 
    with PRs for module migrations: https://github.com/OCA/web/issues/3285. 
    This volume is likely made possible through automation, with an LLM 
    generating the actual migration code (on top of, hopefully, a more 
    deterministic tool like OCA's odoo-module-migrator).
    
    Regardless of the volume and the submitter, if the submitter has 
    reviewed, refined and tested the code generated by an LLM, this should 
    not be a problem but as a reviewer I'd like to know what I can expect. 
    Holger Brunn pointed out to me that in other projects, this may be 
    covered by a demand in the guidelines to disclose LLM usage and its 
    extend. For an example, see 
    https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/8289/files.
    
    I would very much like to see such an addition to the OCA guidelines. 
    Additionally, I would like to suggest that the basic premise (the 
    generated code is indeed first self-reviewed, refined and tested) is 
    also made explicit, and that it is unacceptable to pass on reviewer 
    comments to the LLM only to copy back the LLM's response (which has 
    happened to me on one or two occassions).
    
    Can I have a temperature check for your support for such an addition to 
    the guidelines? Or do you have other ideas or perspectives on the matter?
    
    Cheers,
    Stefan
