What I meant is that you said we should be wary of content that might carry legal risks, if I understand correctly. And as far as I remember, Johannes is the only person recently who has proactively disclosed that his patches were AI-assisted. I appreciate that disclosure, so I was simply pointing it out. Of course, I have no doubt about the quality of his patches.

So what I mean is that we have already had cases where people voluntarily disclosed their use of AI, but there did not seem to be much discussion about it at the time. This time, Brian brought the issue up for discussion, and I really appreciate both of you doing so.

Thanks.
