Forbid AI written comments and commit messages. When generated by AI those are usually really bad and confusing.

* **Accountability:** You must be able to explain, defend, and modify every line you submit. If a reviewer asks why something works a certain way, "the AI wrote it" is not an answer.

* **Communication:** PR descriptions, review comments, and issue reports must be written in your own words. This applies throughout the review process - passing reviewer feedback to an AI and posting whatever comes out is not acceptable.

why no code comments?

We recently adjusted that in the AI_POLICY to make them useful. And from experience if you properly guide the model on what to add as comments they are quite good.

Same thought on the comment - but also on the commit messages. Yes they get veeery lengthy when you ask AI to do them (while you can of course tell it not to do that). When I i.e. worked on Talk Android aspects I asked explicitly if it should be a short (like 1-liner) commit message or if I should push long(er) AI generated commit messages - the feedback has been: the long8er) AI ones (to have this "for later"/future).

So my interpretation from that would be, to still allow them, while the 1-line semantic commit message should be what is relevant for the reviewer(s) while the lenghty version serves as a documentation if one ever would need to dig into the commit history to gain more context by having more git based documentation
