Disallow or discourage use of "AI" tools

[Harald Sitter]

I mean, I guess.

I am not exactly sure what a sign somewhere will help. People can just
ignore it, after all, they ignored the code of conduct (be
considerate) as well as the seemingly obvious courtesy of not wasting
other people's time... may as well ignore the sign. At the same time
routing all input through anti-AI AIs is probably not a useful
expenditure of time either. 🤷
