Disallow or discourage use of "AI" tools (Christoph Cullmann)

This is a complex topic that could go on for ages.

For me, if I can tell you used AI for something, it's because the result 
wasn't good, and had that "obviously AI" flavor to it. You wasted both 
of our time and some of the planet's resources.

For this reason, we already have written guidance against using AI to 
write your blog posts: 
https://ev.kde.org/rules/reimbursement_policy/#after-the-event. I would 
be in favor of extending this somewhere to also cover Bugzilla, email, 
etc, because every single instance of these where I can tell it was AI, 
it's bad and time-wasting.

But if I couldn't tell you used AI, because you skillfully adapted or 
re-wrote its output using your human brain to fit the context, then the 
result was fine and no policy could prevent this, so that part is sort 
of moot IMO.
