TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Obviously this will have some false positive and false negative, but if someone tutored his AI enough for me to not recognize it as an automatically generated contribution, and the contribution do bring value to the projects I work on than is OK to accept it. On the other side if a human user do so little effort to do a contribution that looks like a cheap "AI" maybe he should pay me! So yes "AI" contributions are more than welcome, you can find the sponsor links on this website, some of them have also plan specific to AI contributions, consider that your contribution should at least match the one that you give to your "AI" provider.
